Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

There is a beginning to every story, and this story begins with a woman. Everyone alive on the planet today can trace their ancestry back to just one person—we call her Mitochondrial Eve. But who would she have been, what would her life have been like? And what has happened for her billions of descendants?

A whistlestop tour through prehistory, history, and on to the future, Shevolution spans an extraordinary 200,000 years, following the journeys of the female pioneers who have shaped us all. And all can trace back to our shared relative and the origin of our Shevolution.
