Isi artikel

This post colonial reading of narratives of obesity, diabetes and the hypothesized thrifty genotype ascribed to aboriginal peoples shows how scientific and popualr texts support the belief in bilogical race. Although the scientific consensus is that race is not a empirical category, many scientists use it without comment as a crude proxy for presumed genetic difefrences. The division between science and the social siciences / humanities protects such confusing practices from full scientific and social critique, smething interdisciplinary research teams, science studies and improved peer review could provide.
