DNA Quote: South African President Thabo Mbeki
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted September 28, 2007 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
South African President Thabo Mbeki speaking during the launch of the laboratory of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) at the University of Cape Town:
This knowledge [of genetics] will increase our understanding of humanity’s travails over millennia and will, through this enlightenment, also have the added benefit of lessening ill-begotten and pernicious racial and ethnic prejudices among and between the peoples of the world.
