Episode 47: The legacy of scientific racism

from Our Opinions Are Correct · host Our Opinions Are Correct

Scientific racism means using science to justify racist beliefs or ideas, and it has a long history. In this episode, we explore the origins of scientific racism, and how it's still affecting both evolutionary biology and fantastical stories about "other species" like the X-men's Homo superior or Underworld's vampires. Plus, we've got an interview with journalist Angela Saini, author of the recent book Superior: The Return of Race Science. Show notes: www.ouropinionsarecorrect.com/shownotes
