The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGender is a social construct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRace is a social construct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClass is a function of privilege.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a story to be feared. \"There are no monsters in the closet,\" Murray writes, \"no dread doors we must fear opening.\" But it is a story that needs telling. \u003ci\u003eHuman Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e does so without sensationalism, drawing on the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many differences and our common humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536679747820,"sku":"9781538744017","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781538744017-human-diversity.jpg?v=1776386006","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/human-diversity-by-charles-murray-9781538744017","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
