Joan Roughgarden (born 13 March 1946) is an American ecologist and evolutionary biologist.She has engaged in theory and observation of coevolution and competition in Anolis lizards of the Caribbean, and recruitment limitation in the rocky intertidal zones of California and Oregon.
Deborah Charlesworth FRS FRSE (née Maltby; born 1943) is a population geneticist from the UK, notable for her important discoveries in population genetics and evolutionary biology. [3] [4] Her most notable research is in understanding the evolution of recombination, sex chromosomes and mating system for plants. [3]
The book explores how women’s biology shaped human history and culture. [1] One claim in the book is that when it comes to biological and medical research and clinical drug trials women's bodies have long been overlooked because males have fewer "complicating" factors such as the estrous cycle. [2]
Sexual selection is quite different in non-human animals than humans as they feel more of the evolutionary pressures to reproduce and can easily reject a mate. [2] The role of sexual selection in human evolution has not been firmly established although neoteny has been cited as being caused by human sexual selection. [3]

Branches are identified by one or more unique markers which give a mitochondrial "DNA signature" or "haplotype" (e.g. the CRS is a haplotype). Each marker is a DNA base-pair that has resulted from an SNP mutation. Scientists sort mitochondrial DNA results into more or less related groups, with more or less recent common ancestors.
Sarah Hrdy (née Blaffer; born July 11, 1946) is an American anthropologist and primatologist who has made major contributions to evolutionary psychology and sociobiology.She is considered "a highly recognized pioneer in modernizing our understanding of the evolutionary basis of female behavior in both nonhuman and human primates".
