In the past decades, it has been increasingly recognized that some areas of science, such as anthropology, have been plagued by racist, Western-centric, and/or sexist biases. Unfortunately, an acculturation process to racism and sexism has been occurring for generations leading to systemic inequities that will take a long time to disappear. Here, we highlight the existence of current examples of racism, Western-centrism and sexism within: (1) the most popular anatomical atlases used in biological, anthropological and medical education; (2) prominent natural history museums and World Heritage Sites; (3) biological and anthropological scientific research publications; and (4) popular culture and influential children's books and educational materials concerning human biology and evolution.
在过去几十年里，人们越来越认识到，某些科学领域，如人类学，一直受到种族主义、西方中心主义和/或性别歧视偏见的困扰。不幸的是，几代人以来，针对种族主义和性别歧视的文化适应过程一直在发生，导致了系统性的不平等，而这种不平等需要很长时间才能消失。在此，我们强调在以下方面存在当前的种族主义、西方中心主义和性别歧视的例子：（1）生物、人类学和医学教育中最常用的解剖学图谱；（2）著名的自然历史博物馆和世界遗产地；（3）生物和人类学科学研究出版物；以及（4）关于人类生物学和进化的流行文化、有影响力的儿童书籍和教育材料。
