Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Dina Mira. She is an evolutionary biologist, author, and teacher. She is a senior scientist and writer in residence in the Center for Reproductive Longevity and Equality at the Buck Institute.
And today we're going to talk about her book, A Brief History of the Female Body, an evolutionary look at how and why the female form came to be. So Dr. Amira, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to have you one. Thank you so much for the invitation.
I look forward to our conversation. So before we get into the different physical bodily traits of the female body that you explore in the book, let me start by asking you. From a biological standpoint, how do you define a female? What is a female exactly? Great question.
