Verdict: carrot
Evans studied economic history and law, has a PhD in politics and has worked as a journalist for 25 years. He has read widely on evolutionary biology, palaeontology, biological anthropology, archaeology, neuroscience and evolutionary psychology. He needed all this for his latest book, Black Brain White Brain. It plunges deep into the world of racist science and demolishes its myths quickly and smartly.
Evans grew up in SA, at a time when children were taught that each race had its own mentality and potential, and its “own stage of development”. He left SA and found such thinking existed elsewhere — and is disseminated among many in the scientific community.
