This paper assesses whether it is possible to have value-free, politically-neutral and complete impartial science of race. It also addresses if the value-free science of race can be a good thing and if the better science in social contexts is connected to acting and acknowledging on the values of the value-free science of race.
History, genes, and race
Zoologists are always coerced to accept that humans are distinctive in particular habits (Tatum 2000, p.3). Studies show that humans are not apes and easily distinguishable from apes in the same manner ducks and pigeons are not lions and wolves respectively. According to Mark, humans are not distinct in the fundamental biology but the human cells are almost inseparable with the apes’ cells. However, the human cells and apes’ cells are different as cells of particular ape …show more content…
During 1860 to 1900, Europeans and Americans needed to settle out the race differences. The release of the slaves and the U.S Civil War were predominant in the discussion of race. The Europeans came to Africa and divided it and continued their imperialistic actions. This melodramatically increased their association with other races. The rediscovery of Mendelian heredity in 1990 was the not the beginning of the biological race crossing and difference. Various genetic ideas were articulated by biologists in the late nineteen century. The opinions of genetics on race were developed from the late nineteen-century scientific knowledge and cultural context. Charles Darwin on his voyage of the Beagle that took place between December 1931 and October 1936, he discovered the South American Indians, Australian aborigines, South Sea Islanders, black Africans etcetera. He was sure that people he observed were distinguishable human races and their distinctive physical features such as skin color, hair, height and facial characteristics were inherited. Charles also suggested that hereditary mental differences among human races were controvertible. Darwin thought that mental differences between the savage races and the civilized man developed predominantly via natural selection and they were the large part of hereditary (Parovine 1986, p. 858). Charles Darwin believed that the white Europeans would
