SUPERIOR: THE RETURN OF RACE SCIENCE
Book ID/图书代码： 08136018C00101
English Summary/英文概要： n the twenty-first century, we like to believe that we have moved beyond scientific racism, that most people accept race as a social construct, not a biological one. But race science is experiencing a revival, fuelled by the misuse of science by certain political groups.
Even well-intentioned scientists, through their use of racial categories in genetics and medicine, betray their suspicion that race has some basis in biology.
In truth, it is no more real than it was hundreds of years ago, when our racial hierarchies were devised by those in power.
In Superior, award-winning author Angela Saini explores the concept of race, from its origins to the present day. Engaging with geneticists, anthropologists, historians and social scientists from across the globe, Superior is a rigorous, much needed examination of the insidious and destructive nature of race science.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 几千年来，处于统治地位的社会有一种习惯，那就是相信自己的人民是最好的，在内心深处:他们变得越强大，就越有力量被认为是自然的，文化也是一样的。当你看到权力是如何形成种族观念的，你就能开始理解它的意义。
在21世纪，我们愿意相信我们已经超越了科学上的种族主义，大多数人接受种族是一种社会结构，而不是生物学上的概念。但是，由于某些政治团体滥用科学，种族科学正在复兴。
即使是善意的科学家，通过在遗传学和医学上使用的种族分类，也暴露出他们怀疑种族在生物学上是有一定的基础的。
事实上，它并不比几百年前更真实，当时我们的种族等级制度是由当权者设计的。
在《优越》一书中，获奖作家安吉拉•塞尼探讨了种族的概念，从它的起源到今天。与来自世界各地的遗传学家、人类学家、历史学家和社会科学家进行交流，《优越》对种族科学的阴险和破坏性进行了严格而必要的研究。（YYW）

’In this essential book, Angela Saini deftly shows how science and racism have long been intertwined, why that pernicious history continues to this day, and why "race science" is so deeply flawed. Deeply researched, masterfully written, and sorely needed, Superior is an exceptional work by one of the world’s best science writers.’ Ed Yong
