The study of the Earth’s rocks and natural resources is racist and linked to “white supremacy”, according to a geography professor at a leading university.

Kathryn Yusoff, an academic at University of London, said the hard science subject of geology was “riven by systemic racism” and colonialism.

She also suggested palaeontology, the study of prehistoric life through fossils, was partly to blame for racism, labelling it “pale-ontology”.
