The Female of the Species

Nicky meets Lucy Cooke to find out everything we get wrong about female animals - from monogamy to menopause.

Author and evolutionary biologist Lucy Cooke tells Nicky what the world of science got wrong because it was looking at the world through a patriarchal lens. From the amazing bonobo apes bonding through sapphic intimacy, to the menopausal whales leading their pods, to ducks evolving to choose which male fertilises her egg.
