Watson, James D.
The
1962 Nobel Prize winner for science caused quite a stir when an
interview appeared in The Sunday Times, October 14, 2007. He was quoted
as saying that he was
“inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social
policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as
ours – whereas all the testing says not really.” Dr Watson added that he
hoped everyone was equal, but that “people who have to deal with black
employees find this is not true.” On October 19, 2007 he was suspended
from his job at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Long Island where he has
been Director and President. Watson, whose book promotion tour was
cancelled, said he had been “mortified” by people’s response. He added
“To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as
a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologize
unreservedly. …That is not what I meant. More importantly, there is no
scientific basis for such a belief…I cannot understand how I could have
said what I am quoted as having said. I can certainly understand why
people reading those words have reacted in the ways they have.” His
latest book is entitled Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in
Science.
