This book "...was first published in 1942, when Nazism flourished, when African Americans sat at the back of the bus, and when race was considered the determinant of people's character and intelligence. Montagu presented a revolutionary theory for his time: Breaking the link between genetics and culture, he argued that race is largely a social construction, and not constitutive of significant biological differences between people. Succeeding edtions traced the changes in our conceptions of race and race relations over the twentieth century. Now, over 50 years later, MAN'S MOST DANGEROUS MYTH is back in print, substantially revised by the original author. This new edition contains Montagu's most complete explication of his theory and a thorough updating of previous editions. " Appendix A: Ethnic group and race.
