Human Diversity: The Biology of Gender, Race, and Class Audiobook (Free)

Everyone is similar but, as Individual Diversity explores, all groups of people are not similar — a remarkable investigation of the genetics and neuroscience of human being differences.

The thesis of Human being Variety is that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy which has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of the orthodoxy includes three dogmas:

– Gender is a social construct.

– Race is normally a social construct.

– Class is normally a function of privilege.

The problem is that three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the wealthy consistency that biology adds to our understanding of the interpersonal, political, and financial worlds we reside in.

It is not a story to become feared. ‘There are no monsters in the wardrobe,’ Murray writes, ‘no dread doorways we must dread opening.’ But it is a tale that needs telling. Human Diversity will so without sensationalism, sketching on probably the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many variations and our common mankind.
