Race
I have to admit I didn't finish this book, but I felt I didn't have to. The author's premise is very clear, and he hits you over the head with it again and again: We are hard-wired for racism. As humans evolved, they had to be wary of whoever or whatever looked different than they did or else they were toast. So we came to fear those who were different, who we recognzied as different because of their physical traits. And fear of/derision toward the other was not based soley on skin color, argues Aronson. In ancient times, it was based on how one walked or spoke or dressed. Bottom line, we make distinctions based on appearance and judgement, prejudice, and discrimation follows. My question is, if we're hard-wired for racism, is it even possible to advance into a post-society?
