Studying zoology made Lucy Cooke feel like a sad freak. Not because she loved spiders or would root around in animal feces: All her friends shared the same curious kinks. The problem was her sex. Being female meant she was, by nature, a loser. Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been convinced that the males of the animal kingdom are the interesting ones—dominating and promiscuous, while females are dull, passive, and devoted. But Cooke tells a new story.

Provocative, well written, and salacious!!!

A phenomenal book that is well organized into clear themes. As scientists we have to write subdued ‘unbiased’ papers. Cooke blasts away at this puritan notion by using colorful language without any unscientific overstatements. As a non-binary scientist in microbial ecology research I found it very fun and refreshing to have all of this research summarized in one place. Hopefully she can write another book with similar tone on the origins of sex to include some non-animal examples that also shatter the ideas around culturally derived gender and sex roles. This may have been the most fun science book I have ever listened to!
