This book is labeled as "for the lay reader" but it ranges from lay language to very technical language regarding chemistry and DNA. The author integrates genetics, evolution, migration, and psychology into a very useful book which supports acceptance of diversity and offers the evidence required to debunk stereotypes and prejudices.
