Michel Odent has spent his life challenging the conventions of medical orthodoxy. Odent maintains an English-language database cataloguing scientific papers on pregnancy, birth and epidemiology. He is most passionate about advancing his theory that altering the way women conceive and give birth is changing humanity at an evolutionary level. There have been human beings on this planet for millions of years and how long can humanity survive now? • The Birth of Homo, The Marine Chimpanzee by Michel Odent (Pinter & Martin Ltd, £11.99).
