Between the Me Too movement and challenging questions about the quality of peer review and disturbing new revelations about how bias is negatively impacting science, this book is very relevant. A lot of the science isn't clear, as this book shows. The core strength of the book is how it picks apart "conventional" wisdom and exposes how threadbare is the supposed evidence that's used to excuse biased research and the way it's held back social promise. Look at the French women refuting Me Too's rise, a refutation based on the internalized misogyny that's the byproduct of dubious gender research. The time is ripe for a reckoning, and I hope books like this help hurry it along.

I read this because I really enjoyed Superior, and I found this book more accessible but I liked it a little less; the second half was a little more anthropology than biology which was nice but ultimately I felt like undermined the arguments a little.

I appreciate the digging, the care, the facts balanced with the urgency and call to action.
