Including well-written essays by scholars at the forefront of biological, social, and medical debates about the nature, role, and value of racial classification, it is a compact introduction to central arguments about the nature of racial diversity. Helen Longino, Stanford University, USA The editors gathered an impressive interdisciplinary team of experts, biologists (Nielsen, Edwards), philosophers of sicence or metaphysicians (Hochmann, Brandon, Spencer, etc), of social scientists or medical ethicians, whose collaboration in this book achieves a real cartography of the question of race, and advances its understanding. Pluralist, well informed, rigorous, innovative in all of its contributions, this book is a must read for any philosopher, social scientist, physician or biologist concerned with the question of race today, the legitimacy of any race talk, and the role it can play at the intersection of ethics, medicine, politics, science and metaphysics.

Philippe Huneman, Institut d’Histoire et de Philosophie des Sciences et des Techniques (CNRS), France ""Overall, this is a very interesting collection that clearly shows when it comes to questions about race the answers are not clear-cut, or of the black-or-white kind."" - Kostas Kampourakis, Biology, University of Geneva" Author Information"Ludovica Lorusso is a Research Fellow at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). She is the author of peer-reviewed papers in philosophy of biology, philosophy of race, and philosophy of perception, where she proposed a new model of perception of faces. Her current research interests include philosophy of biomedicine, science, technology, and society (STS); and bioethics. Rasmus Grønfeldt Winther is Professor of Humanities at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He works in the philosophy of science and philosophy of biology and has interests in epistemology and political philosophy, cartography and GIS, and science in general. Recent publications include ""A Beginner's Guide to the New Population Genomics of Homo sapiens: Origins, Race, and Medicine"" in The Harvard Review of Philosophy; ""Mapping the Deep Blue Oceans"" in The Philosophy of GIS; When Maps Become the World (2020); and Our Genes: A Philosophical Perspective on Human Evolutionary Genomics (2022)."
