"Evolutionary science has long been regarded as conservative, a tool for enforcing regressive ideas, particularly about race and gender. But in 'A Voice in the Wilderness,' evolutionary biologist Joseph L. Graves Jr. -- once styled as the 'Black Darwin' -- argues that his field is essential to social justice."--From publisher.

"Convincing arguments against scientific racism from an acclaimed researcher and scholar." -- Kirkus Reviews.
