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

3.5

challenging hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

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.
