WIRED Book Club: Superior: The Return of Race Science

What does biology say about human differences? How does science become racist? And what even is race?

Welcome to the WIRED Book Club. This month, we’ve been reading Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini. It’s a book about how science is manipulated to push racist beliefs and agendas, our muddled attempts to define race using science and how power shapes the idea of race.

Here with author Angela Saini we discuss what we thought of the book, some of the most commonly held misunderstandings around race and where science goes next.
