Black people 'less intelligent' scientist claims
One of the world’s most respected scientists is embroiled in an extraordinary
row after claiming that black people are less intelligent than white people.
James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in discovering the structure
of DNA, has provoked outrage with his comments, made ahead of his arrival in
Britain today.
More fierce criticism of the eminent scientist is expected as he embarks on a
number of engagements to promote a new book ‘Avoid Boring People: Lessons
from a Life in Science’. Among his first commitments is a speech to a London
audience at the Science Museum on Friday. The event is sold out.
Dr Watson, who runs one of America’s leading scientific research institutions,
made the controversial remarks in an interview in The Sunday Times.
