With scientific basis established from the Human Genome Project, the authors explore what it means to be human, the myth of race, and the importance of common identity. The conclusions of the Human Genome Project discredit those who deny humanity's genesis on the African continent, and they allow for new examination of the fictitious basis upon which modern society justifies its divisions, privileges, and punishments. In this book, the discourse navigates the complex illusion of race by tracing its cultural and religious origins. Furthering the ideas brought forth in Ibram X. Kendi's critically acclaimed book </span><em style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">How to Be an Antiracist</em><span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">, the authors express the power in ending the language of race entirely, bringing forth a new era in which racism no longer plagues the human experience.

The authors, in their acknowledgement of the differences that exist among humans, found that such distinctions are more easily explained culturally rather than "racially." Even so, habitual reference to these racial partitions are ingrained into many aspects of the contemporary landscape.
