Description
The science behind human difference can be a powerful tool against bigotry. In "How to Argue with a Racist", Adam Rutherford explores how modern genetics and history can help us understand human evolution and variation, debunking outdated notions of race. Rutherford argues that science is not an ally to racists, but rather a powerful force for clarity on human nature. By examining the limitations of genetic research and the complexities of human variation, he provides a timely and vital manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human diversity. This updated edition includes a new Preface from the author, offering fresh insights into the ongoing debate about race and science.
