A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History

The book "A Troublesome Inheritance" by Nicholas Wade is a groundbreaking exploration of the genetic basis of race and its role in human evolution.

Drawing on startling new evidence from the mapping of the genome, this book challenges the long-held belief that race is a social construct with no scientific basis.

The author argues that race is more than just a social construct, but rather a biological reality that has evolved over time due to geographical isolation and selective pressure. The book covers a range of topics, including the genetic basis of human social habits, such as thrift, docility, and nonviolence, which have been slowly but surely inculcated genetically within agrarian societies.

The author presents compelling evidence from scientists who have made crucial breakthroughs in establishing the reality of recent human evolution, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the complex and fascinating topic of race and its role in human history.
