The colonial project of European settlers colonialism occured during the timeframe associated with the flowering of Western science in the works of Copernicus, Vesaliius, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes and Isaac Newton. It should be no surprise that the two processes got interwoven, through the degree to which “western science” was formulated in support of colonial values and procedures should alarm us. Historian of science David Kubrin will explicate the warp and the woof of colonialism.
