In this wise and witty essay, Jonathan Marks explores the persistence and legacy of scientific racism, which misappropriates the authority of science and undermines it by converting it into a social weapon. Marks reveals how the dangerous relationship between genetics and race continues to this day, fueled by the mistaken belief that human races are naturalistic categories. He argues that race is not a formal scientific concept accessible to biology or genetics, but rather a construct that must be grasped through the humanities: historically, experientially, and politically.
