Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You

In this second edition, Race, Monogamy, and other Lies They Told You (University of California Press) again tackles common myths about human behavior. Those myths are: people are divided into biological races, we are naturally aggressive, and men and women are wired differently. Fuentes addresses each of these misconceptions in accessible ways, using scientific evidence and culture to back his points. This updated edition includes reflections on new topics ranging from the popularity of home DNA testing kits to “incel” culture.
