Rezensionen

'a thorough overview and detailed critique of contemporary "race science," and a poignant description and assessment of scientific racism... an easy-to-read overview of the latest academic research in genetics, evolutionary anthropology, archaeology, and paleontology that explains disparities in human intelligence... but not in terms of the construct "race." As a seasoned science journalist, Evans explains complex concepts and theories with clarity and precision, and he brings moments of levity to this challenging subject matter.'
