Race Is a Spectrum. Sex Is Pretty Damn Binary by Richard Dawkins.

In this podcast episode, the hosts dive into Richard Dawkins' essay, "Race Is a Spectrum, Sex Is Pretty Damn Binary." They highlight the significant contrasts between the fluidity of racial identity and the rigid biological concept of sex. Through engaging examples, such as the story of a cow named Arusha and the historical context of the "one-drop rule," the discussion reveals how racial identity shifts with ancestry and social influences, while sex remains fundamentally binary. The episode also explores the impact of these differences on genetic inheritance, showing how Darwin's ideas closely align with Mendelian principles due to the binary nature of sex.
