Grooming, Gossip & the Evolution of Lang by Robin Dunbar

Disputing assumptions to the contrary, this book argues that language evolved among women, and that, although men are just as likely to natter as women, women gossip more about other people, thus strengthening the female-female relationships that underpin society.
