A troublesome inheritance

About “A troublesome inheritance”

Drawing on new genetic evidence, a book by Nicholas Wade presents an account of the genetic basis of race and its role in human history. The book addresses the idea that human evolution has continued into the present, with populations evolving independently due to long periods of isolation. Wade examines the possibility that recent human evolution has influenced social behavior and the development of societies. He emphasizes that the book does not support the idea of racial superiority. Instead, it argues that understanding the evolution of human races is important for comprehending human societies and history. The book calls for scientific inquiry into these topics without fear or bias.
