A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History

An interesting book on the intersection of science and sociology. Very reminiscent of The Bell Curve by Murray and Hernstein. The three basic contentions are that there are distinct races, that evolution has operated up to modern times over relatively short time spans (500 years) and that culture and institutions affect genes and vice-versa. Great except for the middle chapter,. which makes all kind of hand-waving assertions without proof.
