The problem today is not science or scientists. The reference to scientific racism is about a historical moment in the 19th and early 20th century. Not all scientists "submit" to a specific dogma. "Typology" and systematic approaches to types of species pre-dates classical science by hundreds of years. Perhaps you refer to natural philosophy.

A problem today is not science of course (that's rather the solution to it), but it is 'scientists' that will disregard observation+reason in order to submit to some ideological (and non-scientific) heterodoxy.

By 'typology', I'm of course referring to its use in anthropology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typology_(anthropology).

Finally, would you agree that typology applies to humans or do you hold that it needs to be denied when humans are concerned?
