Published 3 June 2024 at 10:23
Our preconceptions about what it means to be female have been shaped by centuries of sexist and heteronormative bias. In this fascinating and funny talk from QED 2023, Lucy Cooke showcased females and the scientists studying them who are redefining the female of the species. Featuring post-menopausal orcas, primates who use promiscuity as a maternal strategy, and lizards who have dispensed with males altogether and reproduce by cloning.
