How Whiteness Rewired Humanity, Stalled Civilization, and What It Will Take to Repair It

Abstract This book advances a rigorously sourced, interdisciplinary argument: that the invention of “race”—specifically whiteness as a governing ideology—fractured the human species, distorted science and law, stalled technological and moral development, and normalized institutional harm against Black and Indigenous peoples worldwide. Drawing from biology, anthropology, history, political economy, public health, and lived experience, this work reframes humanity not as competing races, but as a single species subjected to an artificial hierarchy. The book argues that this hierarchy is not only unjust but inefficient, anti-scientific, and civilization-limiting. —Translation? Not “feel bad.” Fix the damn system. A repair framework is offered.

Dedication This book is dedicated to every institution that applied pressure instead of truth, to every authority that mistook compliance for justice, and to every system that underestimated what happens when a Black woman decides to document instead of disappear. Thank you for the data. Author’s Note This work blends documented history, interdisciplinary research, and lived analysis. It is not written to persuade the comfortable. It is written to clarify reality. 📘 BODY My chapters stand as-is.

BACK COVER What if the problem was never people—but the operating system? Race is not biology. It is not destiny. It is not culture. It is a governing technology—engineered, installed, and maintained to justify extraction, hierarchy, and institutional harm. In The Human Species vs. the Invention of Race, Mya Brown draws from biology, anthropology, history, public health, law, and lived documentation to make a clear, rigorously supported argument: humanity is not divided into races, but into roles imposed by an artificial hierarchy known as whiteness. This hierarchy has distorted science, bent law, damaged nervous systems, suppressed innovation, and stalled civilization itself. This is not a book asking for apology. It is a book demanding competence. With sharp analysis, documented case studies, and a repair framework rooted in systems thinking, Brown reframes justice not as moral performance—but as engineering. If you believe the world can work better than this, this book explains why it hasn’t—and how it still could. 📄 Publisher Query Letter Subject: Book Query — The Human Species vs. the Invention of Race Dear [Editor/Acquisitions Team], I am seeking representation/publication for my completed nonfiction manuscript, The Human Species vs. the Invention of Race: How Whiteness Rewired Humanity, Stalled Civilization, and What It Will Take to Repair It. This interdisciplinary work (approx. ___ words) draws on biology, anthropology, history, political economy, public health, and lived analysis to argue that race—specifically whiteness as a governing ideology—is not a biological reality but a structural system that fractured the human species and constrained civilizational development. Unlike works that focus solely on social critique, this manuscript frames race as a systems failure—an inefficient, anti-scientific architecture that distorted law, medicine, and governance while suppressing collective human potential. The book offers both diagnosis and a repair framework grounded in scientific consensus and institutional accountability. The manuscript has been independently published with a DOI via Zenodo and includes extensive citations (Lewontin, Crenshaw, Alexander, Rothstein, Gould, and others). It is written for both academic and general audiences and is suitable for courses in sociology, public health, anthropology, critical race studies, and systems design. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this work further and can provide the full manuscript upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Mya Brown摘要 本书以严谨溯源的跨学科论证，提出核心观点：“种族（race）”的建构——尤其是作为统治性意识形态的白人身份（whiteness）——割裂了人类整体，扭曲了科学与法治，阻滞了科技与道德进步，并令全球针对黑人和原住民群体的制度性伤害常态化。 本书依托生物学、人类学、历史学、政治经济学、公共卫生学以及个体亲历经验，重新定义人类并非彼此对立的种族群体，而是受制于某一人工建构等级体系的单一物种。 本书指出，这一等级体系不仅不公，更效率低下、违背科学，且制约文明发展。 ——我们要做的绝非仅仅“共情悲悯”，而是切实修复这套糟糕透顶的体系。 本书同时提供了一套修复框架。 前置内容：最终排版结构 标题页 《人类与种族的建构：白人身份如何重塑人类、阻滞文明，以及修复之路》（The Human Species vs. the Invention of Race: How Whiteness Rewired Humanity, Stalled Civilization, and What It Will Take to Repair It） 作者：米娅·布朗（Mya Brown） 版权页 © 2026 米娅·布朗（Mya Brown） 保留所有权利。未经书面许可，不得以任何形式复制、分发或传播本书任何内容，评论或学术分析中的简短引用除外。 本书为非虚构作品。与当前运行失灵的各类体系存在相似之处，绝非偶然。 献词 本书谨献给所有施加压迫而非追求真相的机构， 所有将顺从误判为正义的权威， 以及所有低估了这一后果的体系—— 当一位黑人女性选择记录而非隐匿时，所发生的一切。 感谢你提供的所有数据。 作者注 本书融合了可考历史、跨学科研究与亲历式分析。 本书并非为说服安逸顺遂之人而作。 本书旨在澄清现实。 📘 正文 本书各章节保持原貌，已具备以下特质： • 逻辑连贯有序 • 修辞严谨缜密 • 情感表达克制得当 针对电子书排版，我们将： • 使用清晰的章节分隔符 • 避免过度使用斜体格式 • 保留琪琪（Kiki）作为风格化叙事视角（此为特色设计，而非瑕疵） 📚 后置内容 附录A：案例研究索引（扩充版） • 住房执法模式 • 医疗忽视差距 • 教育准入壁垒 • 劳动与财富攫取 参考文献与引用（扩充书目） 我们将采用芝加哥作者-日期格式（Chicago Author-Date）——最适合非虚构作品的格式： • 卢文廷，R.（1972）. 《人类多样性的分布》（The Apportionment of Human Diversity） • 美国生物人类学协会（2019）. 《关于种族与种族主义的声明》（Statement on Race and Racism） • 人类基因组计划（2003）. 《遗传变异与人类同源性》（Genetic Variation and Human Similarity） • 艾伦，T.（1994）. 《白人种族的建构》（The Invention of the White Race） • 罗迪杰，D.（1991）. 《白人身份的代价》（The Wages of Whiteness） • 古尔德，S.J.（1981）. 《人类的误测》（The Mismeasure of Man） • 华盛顿，H.（2006）. 《医疗种族隔离》（Medical Apartheid） • 亚历山大，M.（2010）. 《新吉姆·克劳》（The New Jim Crow） • 罗斯坦，R.（2017）. 《肤色的法律》（The Color of Law） • 克伦肖，K.（1991）. 《边缘地带的勾勒》（Mapping the Margins） • 柯林斯，P.H.（2000）. 《黑人女性主义思想》（Black Feminist Thought） • 麦克尤恩，B.（1998）. 《压力、适应与疾病》（Stress, Adaptation, and Disease） • 威廉姆斯，D.（2018）. 《种族主义与健康》（Racism and Health） 封底文案 倘若问题的根源从未在于人类本身，而在于这套运行系统？ 种族并非生物学范畴的概念。 它绝非宿命。 亦绝非文化范畴。 它是一种统治性技术——经人为设计、植入并维护，用以为剥削、等级制度与制度性伤害提供正当性辩护。 在《人类与种族的建构》一书中，米娅·布朗（Mya Brown）依托生物学、人类学、历史学、公共卫生学、法学以及亲历式记录，提出了清晰且论证严谨的核心观点：人类并非被划分为不同种族，而是被某一被称为“白人身份”的人工等级体系强加了不同角色。 这一等级体系扭曲了科学、挟持了法治、损害了人类身心健康、压制了创新，并最终阻滞了文明的进步。 本书并非一本祈求道歉的作品。 它是一本要求重建能力的著作。 凭借犀利的分析、可考的案例研究，以及植根于系统思维的修复框架，布朗将正义重新定义为一项工程实践，而非道德表演。 倘若你坚信世界可以变得更好， 本书将为你阐释为何当下并未如愿，以及未来仍有转机。 📄 出版商查询函 主题：图书出版查询——《人类与种族的建构》 尊敬的[编辑/采编团队]： 我谨为本人已完成的非虚构手稿《人类与种族的建构：白人身份如何重塑人类、阻滞文明，以及修复之路》寻求出版代理与发行机会。 这部跨学科作品（约____字）依托生物学、人类学、历史学、政治经济学、公共卫生学以及亲历式分析，论证了“种族”——尤其是作为统治性意识形态的白人身份（whiteness）——并非生物学意义上的真实存在，而是一套割裂人类整体、制约文明发展的结构性体系。 与仅聚焦社会批判的作品不同，本手稿将种族定义为一场系统性失灵：一套效率低下、违背科学的架构，它扭曲了法律、医疗与治理体系，同时压制了人类集体的发展潜能。本书既提供了问题诊断，也提出了基于科学共识与制度问责的修复框架。 本手稿已通过Zenodo平台独立发布并获取DOI，包含大量参考文献（涵盖卢文廷、克伦肖、亚历山大、罗斯坦、古尔德等学者的研究）。本书面向学术与大众读者，适用于社会学、公共卫生学、人类学、批判种族研究以及系统设计等课程。 我期待能有机会进一步探讨这部作品，可应要求提供完整手稿。 感谢您的时间与考量。 诚挚问候， 米娅·布朗（Mya Brown）
