The Myth of Contest discounts concisely with a variety of topics, from how the concept of competition differs in various cultures and competition relations in the United States, to IQ tests and the census. It pulls on scientific knowledge to topple some myths that move as facts, right fake assumptions, and clarify cultural misunderstandings about the highly recharged topic of competition. The book shows that the obviously straightforward idea of race is truly a confused combination of two different principles; and the misunderstanding often brings about miscommunication. The first principle, biological competition, simply doesn't are present in the human varieties. Instead, what prevails is gradual deviation in what folks appear to be (e.g., skin color and cosmetic features) and in their genes, as you travel around the planet - with an increase of distant populations showing up more unique of closer ones. If you travel in various guidelines, the populations look different in various ways. The next concept, social competition, is a couple of cultural categories for labeling people based on how their ancestors were labeled, selected areas of what they appear to be, or various combos of both. These models of categories range widely from one culture to another. Compliment for The Myth of Contest comes from previous US Secretary of Security William Cohen, and from anthropologist Audrey Smedley, author of Contest in North America. Secretary Cohen said, "Writing with stunning clarity, Dr. Fish poses profound and perturbing questions about competition...The Myth of Contest is must reading."
