Racial differences are rooted in biological reality, right? That's
certainly what a small group of anthropologists, psychologists and
pundits would have you believe. Portraying themselves as brave
defenders of the inconvenient truth, this group took the revival of
'race science' from alt-right online message boards into mainstream
academic journals. They seek to justify raging social inequalities
from poverty to incarceration rates with a simple message: some
people are just born to be poor. There's just one problem... race
science isn't real. The first Europeans had dark skin and black
curly hair. Culture was born in Africa, not Western Europe. Gavin
Evans examines the latest research on how intelligence develops and
laying out new discoveries in genetics, palaeontology, archaeology
and anthropology to unearth the truth about our shared past. Skin
Deep stands up to the pseudo-science deployed to justify colonial
rule, the apartheid regime and the vast inequalities that persist
today. As race dominates the political agenda, it's time to put the
hateful myths about it to bed.
