The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Gender is a social construct. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Race is a social construct. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Class is a function of privilege. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is not a story to be feared. \"There are no monsters in the closet,\" Murray writes, \"no dread doors we must fear opening.\" But it is a story that needs telling. \u003ci\u003eHuman Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e does so without sensationalism, drawing on the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many differences and our common humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538744015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538744017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twelve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.70d","brand":"Charles Murray","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042877305087,"sku":"9781538744017","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53e61994-d57c-48bb-92c1-8544f8087fb2.jpg?v=1684964039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-diversity-charles-murray-9781538744017","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
