- Title
Bridging biology & belief: Review of Race, monogamy, and other lies they told you: Busting myths about human nature (Second Edition).
- Authors
Nelson, Robin G.
- Abstract
The article discusses the second edition of the book "Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You: Busting Myths about Human Nature" by Agustín Fuentes. The book aims to debunk myths about race, aggression, and sex by providing scientific theories and evidence. Fuentes explores his own positionality and how it has influenced his work, and he argues that these myths about naturalness and biology contribute to social inequities. The book is organized into two parts, with the first part providing foundational knowledge and the second part addressing specific myths about human behavior. While the book effectively challenges these myths, it could benefit from further analysis of power dynamics and societal hierarchies. Overall, the book serves as a call to action to approach social issues with a nuanced understanding of cultural and biological complexity.
