In nature, females control access to sex. This is referred to as Female Choice in biology. Until the advent of settled life, this was also true for humans. However, men then created a civilization that excluded women. But women are slowly returning to their natural strength. Ancient gender relations are finally in motion. The time has come to rethink the coexistence of women and men. Female Choice is a technical term from biology that describes the reproductive strategy of the vast majority of living beings. In this context, males must perform to mate with a female. For the female, reproduction is much more demanding. She is selective, while he is indiscriminate. He aims for quantity, she for quality. He competes, she decides. Yet throughout the history of our civilization, women have had little choice. With the advent of agriculture, people became sedentary, and women were pushed from public life into the private home. Only in very recent evolutionary terms have women been able to shape the world. Now, the male order is beginning to falter. Male resistance, sometimes violent, is forming everywhere. What now? Meike Stoverock describes, in a clever, provocative, and vivid manner, not only where humanity took a wrong turn over 10,000 years ago but also what needs to change for men and women to have a shared future. Meike Stoverock takes biology and history away from those who have always claimed to know how men and women are in the gender debate. It is told as grippingly as a crime novel that you definitely shouldn't miss.
