    Africans “leade a beastly kind of life, being utterly destitute of the use of reason, of dexterities of wit, and of all arts... . [They] behave themselves, as if they had continually lived in a Forest among wild beasts” said Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Wazzan in 1529.

        Neill, M. (1998). ‘”Mulattos,” “Blacks,” and “Indian Moors”: Othello and Early Modern Constructions of Human Difference’ is an excellent exploration of colour-based prejudice from the late medieval period into the modern.

        You should quote Aristotle concept of natural slave when you are at it, wich is closer to the definition of racism. Scientifc racism IS a creation of the enlightenment. Notable exceptions in the same period.

        Well, science as a coherent method is, yes. Not surprising that it sought to explain well-entrenched prejudices. They couldn't survive it for long though.

        Yeah it couldn't survive it for. Are you kidding? 2Oth century didn't happen? No scientist is trying to resurect the essentialist race concept in today post genomics age ?

        Long in historical terms! We have got steadily less and less racist as we've understood more and more about our origins, connections, biology generally and science does not support racial superiority/inferiority claims. Are there reputable scientists trying to do this now?

        I don't see the concept of race in there. The Greeks, Romans, Arabs did believe in their culture's superiority, not race. Which is why they didn't just colonize new land, but also fully integrated it into their empires.

        Good example : all the traits mentioned there are cultural. Not biological.
