Impure thoughts : Johann Blumenbach and the birth of racial science -- Superseding Christian truth : the quiet revolution of nineteenth century American science of race -- The ghost of Christian creationism : racial dispositions and progressive era public health research -- Noah's mongrel children : ancient DNA and the persistence of Christian forms in modern biology -- Beyond the religious pursuit of race.
'Divine Variations' offers a new account of the development of scientific ideas about race. Focusing on the production of scientific knowledge over the last three centuries, Terence Keel uncovers the persistent links between pre-modern Christian thought and contemporary scientific perceptions of human difference. He argues that, instead of a rupture between religion and modern biology on the question of human origins, modern scientific theories of race are, in fact, an extension of Christian intellectual history.
