As the author of “A Brief History of the Female Body” releasing in August 2023, Dr Deena Emera helps to unpack the purpose of menopause and shares fascinating insights into the evolution of female reproduction.
Deena started her science education at UC Berkeley, where she majored in Integrative Biology (and Middle Eastern Studies). She completed a Masters at NYU and a Ph.D at Yale where she studied the evolution of periods, pregnancy, and labour in humans and mammals.
Deena is now a Senior Scientist and Writer-in-Residence in the Center for Reproductive Longevity and Equality at the Buck Institute, where she is drawing on her evolutionary background and expertise on female reproduction to investigate the evolution of menopause.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The big WHY! Why do women experience menopause?
- How and why our bodies evolve as females.
- How some whale species might hold the answer the reproductive longevity
- How environment and lifestyle might impact on your menopause experience
- Delaying pregnancies till later in life
- And how reproductive choice is the CORE of female mammalian biology.
