How to Argue with a Racist: What Our Genes Do (and Don't) Say About Human Difference

How to Argue with a Racist: What Our Genes Do (and Don't) Say About Human Difference

by Adam Rutherford Author

Racist pseudoscience has become so commonplace that it can be hard to spot. Neo-Nazis and white supremacists are obsessed with genetics; feeding nationalism, fueling hatred, endangering lives, and corroding our discourse on everything from sports to intelligence and even well-intentioned people repeat stereotypes. Paradoxically, these misconceptions are multiplying even as scientists make unprecedented discoveries in human genetics. This timely, authoritative weapon against the misuse of science to justify bigotry and its toxic effects on society emphatically dismantles outdated notions of race with scientific findings in genetics that are powerful evidence against racism.
