Synopsis

African Science challenges Eurocentric views by revealing the sophisticated scientific and technological innovations of ancient African civilizations. It highlights that surgical procedures, for example, were performed in Africa centuries before they became common in Europe, demonstrating advanced medical knowledge. Similarly, ancient African astronomers charted the stars with remarkable precision, illustrating their profound understanding of celestial mechanics. The book argues that these advancements significantly contributed to the global body of knowledge, arising from unique problem-solving approaches within specific African contexts.

 
The book systematically explores indigenous knowledge systems, African achievements in medicine (drawing from sources like the Ebers Papyrus), astronomy, and architecture. It examines the rise and fall of African kingdoms such as ancient Egypt and Great Zimbabwe, showcasing the social structures that fostered scientific inquiry. By interweaving archaeology, anthropology, and history, African Science challenges colonial biases and provides a more inclusive understanding of scientific progress, emphasizing the lasting legacy of African innovation.

    What's Real about Race? -...

    In What's Real About Race?, sociologist Rina Bliss illuminates the truth about one of the most misunderstood, controversial concepts in our society and reveals why we cannot confuse race with genetic difference. Blending energizing prose with the latest in genetics research, this paradigm-shifting tour unmasks what's truly real about race: namely, racism's impact on our bodies and lives. 
     
     
     
    Bliss traces the history of race, revealing how unscientific categories of identity—White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native—became the standard, and illuminates how the myth of biological races endures in science and society, warping our understanding of complex topics like intelligence, disease susceptibility, and behavior. Along the way, What's Real About Race? busts enduring myths about IQ, ancestry tests, behavioral racism, and more. In fascinating explorations of gene research, medicine, and social justice, Bliss argues for a new way forward. To create equity in science and society, we must disentangle our understanding of genetics from identity and see race for what it really is: a purely social category. At a time when misinformation about our bodies and identities is dangerously prevalent, What's Real About Race? is an indispensable resource and a powerful reminder that, biologically, our similarities vastly outweigh our differences.
