About The Author

Olivia Judson

Olivia Judson’s debut, Dr Tatiana’s Sex Advice to All Creation, taught us how to have a virgin birth, when to seduce your sisters or eat your lover. In giving her solutions, she explained the evolutionary biology of sex from Darwin’s theory of sexual selection to why sexual reproduction exists at all. It was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize, was an international bestseller, translated into more than 18 languages, and made into a TV show.

Olivia has spent the last twenty-two years working on her second and even more ambitious book. Educated at Oxford University, she has written for The Economist, National Geographic, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, and The New York Times.
