    Fasten your seatbelts for this eye opening tour of race science!
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2023*

This is one of the most interesting science books I have read. Racism is alive and kicking in the world of science not because scientists or science is intrinsically racist(although it sometimes more than seems that way) but because no matter how much we claim the opposite, as a society, we still are.It is long overdue for our institutions to stop using race as a scapegoat for our unwillingness to address social inequality. But we need to start with our own attitudes and beliefs towards race. This book makes a great case for the urgent need to do this.

    Excellent overview of misunderstandings about race
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2019*

This book provides an excellent overview of past and present misconceptions about race.  Saini follows the history of the “race” concept:  how it began as a tool for justifying slavery and colonialism, how it served, in the following centuries, as a vehicle for abuse, exploitation, and discrimination, and how it has sometimes been used to guide the dark practices of eugenics, forced sterilization, and genocide.Throughout the book, Saini focuses on the conceptual muddles that lie at the heart of the “race” concept.  She notes that those who theorize about race have never been able to agree on how many races there are (three? five? hundreds?), or on where to draw the lines between various races (there are wide varieties of genes within each population and vast overlaps of genes among them), or even on how to define the term “race” (for example, medical researchers have never been able to do so).  The indeterminacy of the “race” concept invites idiosyncratic interpretations of historical and genetic evidence, and leads to absurdities such as racists who claim that Jesus was a Nordic, and white supremacists who take multiple genetic tests until they find one that supports their claims to racial purity.Into this confusion come “race scientists,” who ignore the scientific consensus about the invalidity of the “race” concept and who pedal thinly disguised ideological research designed not to advance knowledge but to confirm preexisting ideas about racial superiority and inferiority in an attempt to keep these ideas alive.  Saini demonstrates that this is not just a national phenomenon and that theories of racial superiority are on the rise all over the world—from America to Western Europe, to Bosnia, to India, and to China.  It seems that many people in many cultures want to believe that they are born superior.  But the scientific confusion that underlies these movements is not always a result of racism.  Sometimes it merely reflects misunderstandings about legitimate but complex scientific research in the social sciences, medicine, and genetics/  Keeping informed about the complicated issues underlying this research, therefore, is a difficult but important task.  And Saini’s many interviews with investigators in these disciplines constitute a valuable resource for anyone who hopes to understand what is actually known about human diversity.

    An excellet history of racial thinking in science
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2019*

This book covers the fact that political forces have for centuries claimed "science" as a means to justify inequality and even cruelty as the Nazi-era eugenics illustrates. She covers the contribution of Charles Darwin to modern racism, such as his damning statements about the Tierra del Fuego people he described as Darwin naively and uncritically accepted verbalstatements made by the Tierra del Fuego Indians (also called the Yagan Indians). For example, Darwin uncritically accepted the Fuegians’ statements that they were cannibals without investigating, and Darwin said he was “certain” about his conclusion. Darwin’s conclusions about the Fuegians also supported the racism already common in Europe: “In their native habitat, the Fuegians seemed to epitomize the Europeans’ image of the brutal and degraded savage. Although Darwin was anti-slavery due to his cultural environment, he “saw gradations between the highest races and the lowest savages” And even wrote that the “‘children of savages’ have a stronger tendency to protrude their lips when they sulk than European children, because, similar to chimps, they are closer to the ‘primordial condition.’” (pages 33-34). As Saini states, Darwin believed “in an evolutionary hierarchy. Men were above women , and white races were above others.” (Page 34)
