The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Gender is a social construct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Race is a social construct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Class is a function of privilege. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll books at Vastela are pre-owned.
