🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
A very interesting book about how racists don't make sense scientifically.
His studies focus on genes, so he dismantles how races are not based on genetics (that it's not as simple as saying some one is scientifically different) and racism has no scientific backings, racists simply repeat the incorrect use of science or some outdated arguments that has no scientific evidence.
Though it talks about difficult topics (DNA, genes, history and prehistory) it is incredibly easy to read, and entertaining.
You can tell how the author is enjoying seeing racists defeated by the truth.
But it is important to keep saying the truth, sharing the truth.
There are people who are not informed well, who cling to comments that are lies but "feel good" to them, but they have the same right to at least know the truth.
If we overlook it, as we saw in the U.S. we end up with a racist president who repeat his lies that are only convenient for his friends, and lies that his supporters feel good - and even more sadly the uninformed voters actually get nothing than temporary "feel-good".
