The power of pigment is pervasive throughout the planet and the cosmos. Without pigment, life would cease to exist. In fact, it is the key element that defines life on a social, political, physical and biological level. Moore provides a comprehensive context for the reader to understand both the political issues associated with "blackness" and the physiological advantages of having melanin strategically located in and on the human body. In a provocative way of explaining scientific information, Dr. Moore presents controversial topics on life, bodily processes, origins of humanity, and keys to combating pandemics with a pigment powered defense system.
