Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine laureate James Watson, who discovered the DNA double helix structure, has passed away at the age of 97
James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, laying the foundation for genetics, molecular biology, and modern biotechnology, and they were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this achievement.
However, in his later years, he damaged his reputation by making racist remarks, and was stripped of honorary positions. In 2007, when he planned to tour the UK to promote his latest memoir, The Times quoted his remarks, claiming that there are racial differences in the intelligence of whites and blacks.
He told a journalist that he was "naturally pessimistic" about Africa's future because "all our social policies are based on the premise that their intelligence is the same as ours, yet test results show it is not." (or Wayne)
