      abstract = {Race, while drawn from the visual cues of human diversity,  is an idea with a measurable past, an identifiable present,  and an uncertain future. The concept of race has been at  the center of both triumphs and tragedies in American  history and has had a profound effect on the human  experience. 'Race Unmasked' revisits the origins of  commonly held beliefs about the scientific nature of racial  differences, examines the roots of the modern idea of race,  and explains why race continues to generate controversy as  a tool of classification even in our genomic age. Surveying  the work of some of the twentieth century's most notable  scientists, 'Race Unmasked' reveals how genetics and  related biological disciplines formed and preserved ideas  of race and, at times, racism. A gripping history of  science and scientists, 'Race Unmasked' elucidates the  limitations of a racial worldview and throws the contours  of our current and evolving understanding of human  diversity into sharp relief.},
