Is there a link between race, genes and history? On this week’s View from 22 podcast, author Nicholas Wade discusses his Spectator cover feature on what the last 11 years of human genome decoding tells us about human evolution. Is it racist to combine the politics of race and genes? Is there a link between historical events, such as the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and genetics? And does Nicholas expect to be ostracised for writing on this controversial topic?
Douglas Murray and Haras Rafiq also discuss who exactly is Mo Ansar. How did a former bank employee become the preeminent voice of British Islam? Why did this ‘Twitter personality’ become such a fixture on our TV screens? Does Mo operate ‘sock puppet’ Twitter accounts to reinforce his opinions? And what does the British Muslim community think about him?
Plus James Forsyth and Miranda Green look at the ongoing battle between Nick Clegg and Dominic Cummings, Michael Gove’s former advisor.
