Background
Bohannon was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Her father was a psychology professor at Emory University and her mother was a pianist.[2] Bohannon has a Ph. D. from Columbia University in the evolution of narrative and cognition. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing, also from Columbia.[3] Her writing has appeared in various publications, such as Scientific American and Science.[4][5]
Eve
In 2023, Bohannon's book Eve: How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution was published. The book explores how women’s biology shaped human history and culture.[6] One claim in the book is that when it comes to biological and medical research and clinical drug trials women's bodies have long been overlooked because males have fewer "complicating" factors such as the estrous cycle.[7] The book won Foyles Non-Fiction Book of the Year.[8]
Bohannon was interviewed about the book by the Guardian, the Economist, NPR, KQED, The New Statesman and the Times of India.[9][10][7][11][12][13]
