Skin Deep by Gavin Evans
Journeys in the Divisive Science of Race
An accessible, evidence-based takedown of race science, explaining how human genetic variation is continuous and shared, why skin color, hair, and facial traits evolved under local pressures, and why claims about innate racial differences in intelligence, behavior, health, or athleticism collapse under scrutiny. Tracing the history from eugenics and phrenology to modern genomics, it exposes how myths persist in politics, medicine, and popular culture, and shows that inequality is rooted in social and environmental factors rather than biology.
