Racial meanings and scientific methods: changing policies for NIH-sponsored publications reporting human variation.

Journal of health politics, policy and law - 1 Dec 2003

Stevens Jacqueline

Abstract excerpt

Conventional wisdom holds that race is socially constructed and not based on genetic differences. Cutting-edge genetic research threatens this view and hence also endangers the pursuit of racial equality and useful public health research. The most recent incarnation of racial genetics is not due to scientific discoveries about population differences per se, but follows from how the United States and other...
