Author, Gavin Evans joins Jennifer Sanasie in studio and introduces us to his new book, Black Brain, White Brain. Watch.
The book looks at certain 'scientific' studies that set out to prove that certain ethnicities are better than others. He tells us why you shouldn't pay any attention to these studies and books.
Evans talks us through The Bell Curve, a book that argued "the reason people were poor were because they were stupid." He also tells us the book said that there were more poor black people in America because black people were less intelligent than white people. Evans tells us how these studies got so much traction, and why he believes them not to be true.
Black Brain, White Brain is available at all good book stores.
