Sinossi
A clear, introductory guide to how humans differ and why those differences matter.
Mapping Human Diversity surveys physical traits used to classify people and explains how those traits distribute across major world regions. It presents a framework for thinking about races that avoids overclaim, while outlining the main areas where groups have formed over time. This edition lays out the basic methods scientists have used to study human diversity, from surface features like skin color and hair to more detailed measurements. It also describes how geography, history, and culture have shaped population patterns, with a focus on five broad areas and their peoples. The text is supplemented by a glossary and concise references to further reading.
