Summary
The science of race is constantly changing, and you need to change with it if you want to think and talk about race in an enlightened, sensitive, scientifically supported way. Author Adam Rutherford takes us on a tour of the common misconceptions and malicious falsehoods we unwittingly allow to live on, and then he shows us, using cutting-edge genetics, how the ways we've been categorizing people for centuries are almost entirely unsupported by science.
