The Myth of Race By Robert Wald Sussman

The Myth of Race examines the historical origins and scientific misconceptions behind the idea of race. Anthropologist Robert Wald Sussman explains how racial categories developed through social and political influences rather than biological reality.

The book traces the history of racial theories from early scientific misunderstandings to their role in justifying colonialism, slavery, and discrimination. Sussman argues that modern genetics has shown that human populations are far more similar than previously believed.

Through historical analysis and scientific evidence, the book challenges long-standing assumptions about race and encourages readers to rethink the social and cultural impact of these ideas.
