"This is one of the best books about sex, and having babies, you’re likely to read. I’m not saying ignore the Kama Sutra, What to Expect or even Fifty Shades Of Grey. But if you want to know things like why men have nipples or why it takes a quarter of a billion sperm cells to fertilize one human egg, you should take this white-knuckle ride back through evolutionary time, across continents, into science labs and around your most private parts. It will make you laugh. Your jaw will drop. And the sight of the mismatch between the lives we lead and the bodies we live in will start you thinking."
