Profs and Pints Online presents: “How Scientists Begat Racism,” with Rui Diogo, associate professor of anatomy at Howard University's College of Medicine and resource faculty member at George Washington University's Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology.
Science often is depicted as the antidote to wrongheaded ideas, but truth has often been far more complicated. Join Rui Diogo, an award-winning scholar of hominid paleobiology, for a talk on how scholarship on primates and evolution has been used throughout history to buttress prejudice and justify harm to our fellow homo sapiens.
