The title is terrible - not because it belies the content, but because the kind of person who needs to read this book isn’t going to be interested. This is a great exploration not only of genetics and race, but also how scientific inquiry concerning race has changed throughout history. Not because life is become “PC”, but because standards in science have changed to be more robust. And that’s the heart of Dr. Rutherford’s great survey on human genetic variation.

Ocena: 4+
Wrażenia: Ciekawy zbiór naukowych faktów od człowieka, który zna się na rzeczy. Nawet nie do zaorania rasistów, ale do pokazani im, że sami siebie idealnie potrafią zaorać.
Dla kogo: Dla chociaż troszkę zainteresowanych nauką.

informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

it was informative but not overly dense, and managed to be accessible without over-simplifying the topics. It was very to the point about how incorrect the misconceptions were, and provided lots of evidence and good arguments about why. Very useful!
