Sinopsis
The human species is very young, but in a short time it has acquired some striking, if biologically superficial, variations across the planet. As this book shows, however, none of those biological variations can be understood in terms of discrete races, which do not actually exist as definable entities. Starting with a consideration of evolution and the mechanisms of diversification in nature, this book moves to an examination of attitudes to human variation throughout history, showing that it was only with the advent of slavery that considerations of human variation became politicized. It then embarks on a consideration of how racial classifications have been applied to genomic studies, demonstrating how individualized genomics is a much more effective approach to clinical treatments. It also shows how racial stratification does nothing to help us understand the phenomenon of human variation, at either the genomic or physical levels.

It also shows how racial stratification does nothing to help us understand the phenomenon of human variation, at either the genomic or physical levels. While notions of human race have created some of the most profound and destructive divisions in modern western societies, this book argues that from a biological point of view races do not exist. It outlines that races are purely social constructs and addresses common misunderstandings for the general reader.
