Reaction to Gould

Gould tried to remind us that every scientist has big effect on influencing their idea. For example, Blumenblach made his theory of five classification of race, which afterwards became Hitler’s racism. In other words, if there had been no Blumenbach’s idea of hierarchy classification of race, Hitler’s racism might not have happened.

 Thorough reading this text, I thought this is true. Scientists have high authority. When they shared their ideas, they used some techniques or authority to convince people, and their ideas became common. I think that is why scientists’ ideas have big influence on people and world’s situation in the future.
