Useful information that covered a wide timeline. A bit repetitive and hard to follow at times. I think this was a bit too academic for me, a lot of it went over my head, and I'd like to revisit it sometime in the future to really study it.

Wow. I listened to this audiobook, and it flew by. I have read a couple of books regarding race and medical history, but this is the most complete, thought-provoking one.
