A compelling takedown of prevailing myths about human behavior,
updated and expanded to meet the current moment. There are three
major myths of human nature: humans are divided into biological
races; humans are naturally aggressive; and men and women are
wholly different in behavior, desires, and wiring. Race, Monogamy,
and Other Lies They Told You counters these pervasive and
pernicious myths about human behavior. Agustin Fuentes tackles
misconceptions about what race, aggression, and sex really mean for
humans, and incorporates an accessible understanding of culture,
genetics, and evolution that requires us to dispose of notions of
"nature or nurture." Presenting scientific evidence from diverse
fields, including anthropology, biology, and psychology, Fuentes
devises a myth-busting toolkit to dismantle persistent fallacies
about the validity of biological races, the innateness of
aggression and violence, and the nature of monogamy, sex, and
gender. This revised and expanded edition provides up-to-date
references, data, and analyses, and addresses new topics, including
the popularity of home DNA testing kits and the lies behind
'"incel" culture; the resurgence of racist, nativist thinking and
the internet's influence in promoting bad science; and a broader
understanding of the diversity of sex and gender.
