I don't know if they can rename rhodesiensis because it seems it may have been taken already, according to
this article or if the second article is a follow-on, renaming rhodesiensis to bodoensis, while also renaming heidelbergensis as neanderthal. But I'm sure a FReeper can work it out.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t demanded the dog breed, Rhodesian Ridgeback, be forced to have a name change.

Western science was never “colonized”. It was started by WHITE MEN.
Just about all the key thinkers were WHITE MEN.
Just about all the big discoveries and almost all the key inventions were by WHITE MEN.....from Aristotle to the Internet. WHITE MEN. All of them.
Therefore naming anything in Western science after anything but WHITE MEN would be the colonization - not the reverse.

What about Rhodes scholarships?
I believe Clinton was one?
Maybe Zimbabwe scholars or Mugabe scholars?

"in an effort to decolonise science" Since the scientific method was largely developed by evil, western, colonizing nations, they have their work cut out for them.
