In Nature Knows No Color-Line, originally published in 1952, historian Joel Augustus Rogers examines the origins of racial hierarchy and the color problem.
This book argues that many instances of the contributions of black people had been left out of the history books, and gives many examples..
Societies developed myths and prejudices in order to pursue their own interests at the expense of other groups.

He believed that color prejudice generally evolved from issues of domination and power between two physiologically different groups.
Rogers was a humanist who believed that there were no scientifically evident racial divisions--all humans belong to one race.
