Au fond d'une caverne des Alpes, un paléontologue découvre trois corps préservés par le froid depuis plus de dix mille ans. Une famille... Mais tandis que le couple est néandertalien, l'enfant semble moderne... Kaye Lang, généticienne de génie, découvre que la partie silencieuse de nos gènes recèle d'anciens virus et une surprenante machinerie qui vient de s'enclencher. Alors qu'une maladie terrifiante, le syndrome de SHEVA, se met à frapper les femmes. L'humanité va-t-elle disparaître ? Ou bien va-t-elle accomplir un nouveau bond sur l'échelle de Darwin, la voie de l'évolution ?

Whitlock and Evans introduce us to some of the women-- physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors-- who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions. These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women. Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these women has made the world a better place. -- adapted from jacket Ten Women Who Changed Science tells the moving stories of the physicists, biologists, chemists, astronomers and doctors who helped to shape our world with their extraordinary breakthroughs and inventions, and outlines their remarkable achievements. These scientists overcame significant obstacles, often simply because they were women their science and their lives were driven by personal tragedies and shaped by seismic world events. What drove these remarkable women to cure previously incurable diseases, disprove existing theories or discover new sources of energy? Some were rewarded with the Nobel Prize for their pioneering achievements - Madame Curie, twice - others were not and, even if they had, many are not household names. Despite living during periods when the contribution of women was disregarded, if not ignored, these resilient women persevered with their research, whether creating life-saving drugs or expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. By daring to ask 'How?' and 'Why?' and persevering against the odds, each of these women, in a variety of ways, has made the world a better place
