In this concisely argued, short new book, well-known philosopher
Naomi Zack explores the scientific and philosophical problems in
applying a biological conception of race to human beings. Through
the systematic analysis of up-to-date data and conclusions in
population genetics, transmission genetics, and biological
anthropology, Zack provides a comprehensive conceptual account of
how "race" in the ordinary sense has no basis in science. Her book
combats our everyday understanding of race as a scientifically
supported taxonomy of human beings, and in conclusion challenges us
to be clear about what we mean by "race" and what it would require
to remedy racism.
