The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gender is a social construct. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Race is a social construct. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Class is a function of privilege. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is not a story to be feared. \"There are no monsters in the closet,\" Murray writes, \"no dread doors we must fear opening.\" But it is a story that needs telling. \u003ci\u003eHuman Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e does so without sensationalism, drawing on the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many differences and our common humanity.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349142610224,"sku":"BDdm1n","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dm1n-Square-cover.jpg?v=1772492255","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dm1n","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
