[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa: [qb]There has literally never been a time or place that science has been separate from politics, religion, or nationalism/ethnocentrism. Science and scientist always have a p.o.v., agenda or stated philosophy, if you dig deep enough you will find it. In the west there is no just "benevolent" use of science, it will either be capitalized or weaponized as a tool of economic or political domination at some point. A view that scientific knowledge or the pursuit thereof is an untouched moral high-ground is naivete in the extreme. [/qb][/QUOTE]Last time I checked, it took scientific inquiry like Keita's to challenge the Eurocentric model of ancient Egyptian origins. Even Diop appealed to science when making his arguments. Not to mention, "Out of Africa" wouldn't even be a theory without science digging up the data to back it up. It is true that individual scientists can have biases that persuade them to misinterpret data, but you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater here. [/qb][/QUOTE][b]Certainly, protoscience and science-minded individuals predate modern racism, nationalism and other things she mentioned[/b] . [/qb][/QUOTE]No, just no.... tribalism/ethnocentrism, nationalism predate everything, it is the base human need for self interest and survival. There is no where you would find "science" void of context and culture. [/QB][/QUOTE]
