Terence Keel's Divine Variations examines the intersections of race, religion, and biomedical science, tracing how scientific and medical discourses have shaped racial thought.
The book analyzes historical and contemporary debates over race and heredity, showing how religious and scientific frameworks interact in public culture.

Through archival research and critical analysis, the work highlights the persistence of racialized thinking within biological and medical institutions.
Divine Variations positions Keel as a scholar interrogating how knowledge systems produce and sustain racial hierarchies.
