Why do women go through menopause and not men? What is the purpose of the female orgasm? How have breasts, menstruation, pregnancy, and the female form evolved throughout human history? Dr. Deena Emera—an evolutionary geneticist and author of A Brief History of the Female Body, helps us unravel these fascinating mysteries and more. We also explore the question of why menopause exists and how increased longevity calls into question whether or not menopause should exist at all. Bonus!
