PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Biology and Revolution in Twentieth-Century China (Asia/Pacific/Perspectives)

In this first comprehensive analysis of biological science in modern China Laurence Schneider traces its troubled development from the 1920s across the 1949 boundary and into contemporary postsocialist China Schneider uses his detailed portrayals of influential scientists and key education and research institutions to explore both internal and external forces at work in scientific development The author examines the largely US sources of its technical development and the subsequent quality of its research and educational accomplishments At the same time he firmly grounds these in the context of Chinas national economic and social revolutions These upheavals have been the source of periodic obsessions to use science to regulate nature to manage foreign influence on science and to control scientists The author argues that populist mass science was Maos solution to problems of control especially in the 1950s when Soviet Lysenkoism was granted the power in China to monopolize biology and ban genetics This book provides the only detailed study of Lysenkoism in China linking its ascendance to the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution It concludes with an analysis of the phoenixlike rise of genetics in recent decades and the assignment of biotechnology to a leading role in plans for economic development Based on a broad range of archival materials and interviews with major actors in the story this book will be a rich resource for all those interested in contemporary China.

In the 1920s an international team of scientists and miners unearthed the richest evidence of human evolution the world had ever seen: Peking Man. After the communist revolution of 1949, Peking Man became a prominent figure in the movement to bring science to the people. In a new state with twin goals of crushing “superstition” and establishing a socialist society, the story of human evolution was the first lesson in Marxist philosophy offered to the masses. At the same time, even Mao’s populist commitment to mass participation in science failed to account for the power of popular culture—represented most strikingly in legends about the Bigfoot-like Wild Man—to reshape ideas about human nature.The People’s Peking Man is a skilled social history of twentieth-century Chinese paleoanthropology and a compelling cultural—and at times comparative—history of assumptions and debates about what it means to be human. By focusing on issues that push against the boundaries of science and politics, The People’s Peking Man offers an innovative approach to modern Chinese history and the history of science. The history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our first general account of what may prove to be the most significant dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth\'s air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are a part. Based on exhaustive research, McNeill\'s story—a compelling blend of anecdotes, data, and shrewd analysis—never preaches: it is our definitive account.
