Sexism & Science
Science, by definition and tradition, is supposed to be totally objective and free of bias. However, this is the ideal, not the reality.The activities and theorizing of the scientific community do not proceed in a vacuum. They are subject to all biases current in the established social system; these affect, and sometimes warp, their conclusions.
The influence of prejudice tends to be strongest in those branches of science that are closest to human life and its history and values. Among them are biology, sociology , anthropology, and the two younger sciences called sociobiology and primatology, These are the disciplines discussed in this book.
The essays in this complication do not disparage the genuine discoveries and advance made by workers in these various fields. They seek rather to show in what spesific respects the infiltration of pseudoscientific notion distort the facts and obscure the truths to be found in them
