15: The Complicated Story of America, with Razib Khan
JANUARY 19, 2021
EPISODE NOTES
America isn't just a geographical location, or a mass of 330 million people living within a set of lines drawn on a map. America is the story it tells itself about itself. And adding new chapters feels natural enough - time marches forward, and so does a story. But what happens if, while expanding the scope of what's in front of us, we narrow the scope of what came before? Geneticist and cultural commentator Razib Khan shares how America's rich, complicated, and multi-ethnic history is at risk of being flattened by modern narratives.
