«Eva al desnudo» is Elaine Morgan's essay on human evolution, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (284 pages, in Spanish).
Elaine Morgan proposes a reading of human evolution from a feminist perspective: she reviews the usual theories about the origin of our species and vindicates the role of women in the evolutionary process, with arguments drawn from physiology, cell biology and anthropology.
The Spanish edition of 1973 was translated by Marta I. Guastavino and falls within the fields of science and anthropology.
Audience interested in human evolution, anthropology and feminist perspectives on science.
Elaine Morgan OBE, FRSL, was a Welsh writer for television and the author of several books on evolutionary anthropology. She advocated the aquatic ape hypothesis, which advocated as a corrective to what she saw as theories that purveyed gendered stereotypes and failed to account for women's role in human evolution adequately. The Descent of Woman, published in 1972, became an international bestseller, translated into ten languages. In 2016, she was named one of "the 50 greatest Welsh men and women of all time" in a press survey.
