Race, science and indigeneity in Australia

该项目旨在重新评估生物学在土著研究中的作用。自欧洲殖民统治以来，澳大利亚土著居民吸引了强烈的科学兴趣。他们的骨骼、血液和毛发被收集起来，以揭示人类进化和迁移、血清学以及最近的健康差异。该项目将通过调查20世纪世纪的科学努力，从生物学上了解澳大利亚土著人，来阐述种族科学的历史如何在目前发挥作用。它还将研究有关基因组时代土著生物差异的当代知识。这项研究旨在确保土著基因组学为土著人民提供最大的利益。

This project aims to re-evaluate the role of biology in Aboriginal studies. Indigenous Australians have attracted intense scientific interest since European colonisation. Their bones, blood and hair have been collected to shed light on human evolution and migration, serology and, more recently, health disparities. This project will develop an account of how the history of race science matters in the present through investigating 20th century scientific efforts to understand Indigenous Australians biologically. It will also study contemporary knowledge-making about Indigenous biological difference in the genomic era. This research aims to ensure that Indigenous genomics offer the most benefit to Indigenous people.
