Before We Were Trans illuminates the stories of people across the globe, from antiquity to the present, whose experiences of gender have defied binary categories. Blending historical analysis with sharp cultural criticism, trans historian and activist Kit Heyam offers a new, radically inclusive trans history, chronicling expressions of trans experience that are often overlooked, like gender-nonconforming fashion and wartime stage performance. Heyam looks to the past to uncover new horizons for possible trans futures.

a very nuanced discussion of trans history. it really feels like a conversation between trans people which i appreciated. a lot of books about transness read like they are for cis people but this one really felt like a member of the community writing for that community.

For most of us, the story of mammal evolution starts after the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs, but over the last 20 years, scientists have uncovered new fossils and used new technologies that have upended this story. In Beasts Before Us, paleontologist Elsa Panciroli charts the emergence of the mammal lineage, Synapsida, beginning at their murky split from the reptiles in the Carboniferous period, over 300 million years ago. They made the world theirs long before the rise of dinosaurs.

Full of interesting information and written well. the narrator was excellent.
There were some other reviews that made me almost not want to read it but I'm glad i did.
First the narrator has a scottish accent which makes sense since the author is also scottish. She is very clear and easy to understand. if you are afraid you wont be able to understand the sample audio is a good representation.
Secondly this book is not preachy at all, which is what i was afraid of based on other reviews. The author mentions the contributions of a wide range of scientists and describes the cultural context they were working in. If readers have an issue with that i would suggest that is their own bias.

To better understand the inner workings of our bodies and to trace the origins of many of today's most common diseases, we have to turn to unexpected sources: worms, flies, and even fish.

Interesting but hard to get through

I enjoyed the topic but the writing seemed disorganized and redundant. It could be that I just finished The rise and reign of the mammals which was much better written.
