Shevolution

Everyone alive on the planet today can trace their ancestry back to just one woman. But who would she have been? What would her life have been like? And what has happened since for her billions of descendants?

In an all-encompassing whistlestop tour through prehistory, history, and on to the future, Shevolution spans an extraordinary 200,000 years, tracing the life of the woman scientists call 'Mitochondrial Eve' and following the journeys of the female pioneers who have shaped us all.
