Skin Deep : Dispelling the Science of Race Hardback

Hardback

Description

Racial differences are rooted in biological reality, right?

That’s certainly what a small group of anthropologists, psychologists and pundits would have you believe.

Portraying themselves as brave defenders of the inconvenient truth, this group took the revival of ‘race science’ from alt-right online message boards into mainstream academic journals.

They seek to justify raging social inequalities from poverty to incarceration rates with a simple message: some people are just born to be poor.

There’s just one problem… race science isn’t real. The first Europeans had dark skin and black curly hair.

Culture was born in Africa, not Western Europe. Gavin Evans examines the latest research on how intelligence develops and laying out new discoveries in genetics, palaeontology, archaeology and anthropology to unearth the truth about our shared past.

Skin Deep stands up to the pseudo-science deployed to justify colonial rule, the apartheid regime and the vast inequalities that persist today.

As race dominates the political agenda, it’s time to put the hateful myths about it to bed.
