Today we are Diving into the science! I sit down with Deena Emera, an evolutionary biologist. She published a book "A Brief History of the Female Body." She has a master's in biological anthropology and a PhD in evolutionary biology.She studies the evolution of the female reproductive system in mammals. She is seriously smart and just looking at the topics of her studies is mindblowing. This conversation was incredibly interesting. Keep your mind open with this one as we take a look at the history of reproduction, and as Deena puts it, the maternal fetal conflict.
