Biological and religious theories of race
- Early scientific theories attempted to classify humans on the basis of physical
appearance, assuming that physical difference also implied intellectual and moral
differences
- There has been a legacy of stereotyping races well into contemporary society which
can still be seen in the media and daily life
- Often there is a religious justification used for racist behaviour- e.g. belief that Jews
‘killed Christ’
- Biological theories are generally disregarded by most academics but it is more
difficult to challenge religious belief as it does not require the benefit of scientific
proof
