Books Included in This Collection:
How to Argue With a Racist
This volume tackles a difficult but essential conversation: how to challenge racist assumptions without losing credibility or empathy. Rutherford combines genetics, history, and social science to show why biology is not a justification for prejudice, and how informed, respectful dialogue can make a real difference in public discourse. With practical arguments, real-world examples, and a calm, persuasive voice, this book equips readers to respond thoughtfully in politics, education, and everyday life.

The Book of Humans
A vivid tour through the species’ biology and behavior, this book traces what makes humans distinctive—consciousness, creativity, and the quirks of our bodies. Rutherford blends storytelling with science to illuminate how our genetic heritage and cultural evolution intersect, offering readers both wonder and clarity about our place in the animal kingdom. It’s a compelling reminder that science can be both enlightening and deeply entertaining.

A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived
This is the genome-era history of humanity. Rutherford explains how our DNA carries the footprints of migrations, diseases, and encounters that shaped civilizations.
