Race To The Finish.
"in The Summer Of 1991, Population Geneticists And Evolutionary Biologists Proposed To Archive Human Genetic Diversity By Collecting The Genomes Of ""isolated Indigenous Populations.
"" Their Initiative, Which Becamd Known As The Human Genome Diversity Project, Generated Early Enthusiasm From Those Who Believed It Would Enable Huge Advances In Our Understanding Of Human Evolution.
However, Vocal Criticism Soon Emerged.
Physical Anthropologists Accused Project Organizers Of Reimporting Racist Categories Into Science.
Indigenous-rights Leaders Saying A ""vampire Project"" That Sought The Blood Of nIdigenous People But Not Their Well-being.
More Than A Decade Later, The Effort Is Poorly Off The Groun.
d How Did An Initiative Whoose Leaders Included Some Of Biology's Most Respected, Socially Conscious Scientists Become So Stigmatized? How Did These Model Citizen-scientists Come To Be Viewed As Possible Racists, Even Vampires? This Book Argues That The Long Abeyance Of The Diversity Project Points To Larger, Fundamental Questions About How To Understand Knowledge, Republic, And Racism In An Age When Expert Claims About Genomes Increasingly Shape The Possibilities For Sentient Human.
Jenny Reardon Demonstrates That Far From Being Innocent Tools For Fighting Racism, Scientific Ideas And Practices Embed Consequential Social And Civil Decisions About Who Can Limit Race, Racism, And Democracy, And For What Ends.
Sh3 Calls For The Adoption Of Novel Conceptual Tools That Do Not Oppose Science And Power, Truth And Racist Ideologies, But Rather Draw Into Focus Their Mutual Constitution.
