Description
"While the public debate over the existence of racism and affirmative action continues to rage, preeminent evolutionary biologist Joseph Graves forever changes how we will think about race. Graves argues that science cannot account for the radical categories used to classify people, and goes a step further to describe racism as an unintended consequence of evolution. He offers creative, innovative ways to bring true equality to America." "The Race Myth debunks the ancient fallacies that are still held as fact and perpetuated in all areas of life, from damaging medical profiling to misconceptions about athletes. Graves reveals the impossibility that any group of humans now in existence has a separate genetic line of descent. The Race Myth also explains why defining a race according to skin tone or eye shape is woefully inaccurate and why applying these false categories to assumptions about IQ, behavior, or predisposition to disease has devastating effects."--BOOK JACKET.
