Angela Saini’s Superior is a well-written and well-constructed book about race in science. Starting from the history, Saini brings it to the present day. She gives plenty of examples of how race has an influence on so many things. How it has been the force behind colonialism and white supremacy. How our need of belonging has made us think we’re somehow better than the others. Unfortunately, racism is dead. And there’s still so much to do.

This is a very good overview of the history and current use of race science. There is one thing that bothered me though: after using careful language about people groups, when describing the native peoples of northern North America the author used the term Eskimo which is not the right term to use and is thought of as a slur. The correct term is Inuit and I find it weird that the author included it's use and no editor caught it either.
