5.0 out of 5 stars 10 For actually being scientific and less assumptive, November 13, 2003

By A Customer

I own this book and the author does not do what the reader wayne says. In fact Mr. Moore explains in great depth about the differences in the different functions of melinin and melanoycte found through out the human bodies of ppl of different colors, and as well with other volitional and nonvolitional things. In no way does this author suggest that Black ppl are superior over White ppl and vice verse. If anything he clears up the misconceptions of the supposable experts as well as the laymens. I would give Mr. Moore's work ten stars if i could because he did not choose sides but only shared his observational emperical research. Which is quite accurate with most scientist in this field who do not share the same color.

Please know that this edition of the book was not authorized by Dr. Moore. While the information is the same, he is not getting his due compensation for it. The authorized version has a slightly different title which is, "The Science of Melanin." When encouraging others to read this book, please direct people to the authorized version to be respectful of Dr. Moore's hard work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Know yourself! Know your power!, November 10, 2002

By	wayne (long island, ny United States) - See all my reviews

Melanin is not just something that gives color to the skin it is used thoughout the body for everything from agility to eyesight. This book should be required reading for all afrocentric people. The way the book is written makes it very readable and understandable. This book has things in it that the majority population in america dosen't want you to know. for example:
A black body is physiologically much stronger than a white body.
There is a physiological basis in blacks being smarter, faster, and a more intelligent than whites. This book has made me ask the question if this is true than what else is true about blacks in the light of the significance of melanin. The author dosn't just tell you blacks are better he takes you step by step through the reasoning and it actually makes sense.
