{"product_id":"understanding-race-rob-desalle-9781316511374","title":"Understanding Race","description":"The human species is very young, but in a short time it has acquired some striking, if biologically superficial, variations across the planet. As this book shows, however, none of those biological variations can be understood in terms of discrete races, which do not actually exist as definable entities. Starting with a consideration of evolution and the mechanisms of diversification in nature, this book moves to an examination of attitudes to human variation throughout history, showing that it was only with the advent of slavery that considerations of human variation became politicized. It then embarks on a consideration of how racial classifications have been applied to genomic studies, demonstrating how individualized genomics is a much more effective approach to clinical treatments. It also shows how racial stratification does nothing to help us understand the phenomenon of human variation, at either the genomic or physical levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob DeSalle, Ian Tattersall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316511375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316511374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.93h x 5.12w x 0.55d","brand":"Rob DeSalle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075570594047,"sku":"9781316511374","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af4173a7-112b-4bcb-b715-0e0c20415adb.jpg?v=1685460209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-race-rob-desalle-9781316511374","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
