According to the Book of Genesis, God first created man. This
justified treating women as inferior.
Until this book.
Elaine Morgan argues for equal role of women in human evolution.
This text in feminist history starts with the demolition of the
Biblical myth that woman was an afterthought to the creation of
man. It is a useful work in Women's Studies and Anthropology.
Elaine Morgan was an award winning television writer when she discovered Sir Alister Hardy's Aquatic Ape theory of human origin and her series of bestselling books have further explored, and publicised, the theory. She is also the author of The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis, The Descent of the Child and The Scars of Evolution (all published by Souvenir Press).
"She is more scientific than Genesis, more up to date than Darwin, more fun than Ardrey, and she writes better than Desmond Morris." The Sunday Telegraph"
