So, I'm reading the book reviews in Saturday's WSJ. I notice that one of the reviewers is Charles Murray, prominent Libertarian and co-author of The Bell Curve. The book is "A Troublesome Inheritance" by Nicholas Wade. Here is the entire review: LINK It's long. The short story: Lewotin's 1972 book saying that 'racial classification is a social construct with no genetic basis' is false.
Last serious works I read on race and culture were in college. Guns, Germs, and Steel was my pre-frosh reading project. I'm actually going to buy this book and give it a serious treatment before I post about it.

I read Guns Germs and Steel. Took me like 6 months.

Please post a review when you finish it. BTW, when I said 'it's long' I meant the review that I linked. I think the actual book is only 250 pages.
