The Nature of Difference constitutes a ground-breaking discussion of human diversity among biologists, anthropologists, sociologists, lawyers, medics, epidemiologists, and psychologists, among others. Written by a diverse group of highly regarded authors, the result is a fascinating investigation into human biological diversity and the theory and practice of conducting such research. Chapters focus on recognizing diversity in regard to the law, the issue of nature vs. nurture, genetics, eugenics and the construction of disease, the ethics of human experimentation, and whether there is a biological basis for morality.
