Adapting western science to traditional African culture
Abstract
In this paper the argument is advanced that, despite the differences between the scientific and the traditional ways of viewing nature, the two systems of thought are not incompatible. This position is reached from a review of the literature and on the basis of personal findings in the area. It is hoped that the article will clarify certain areas of ambiguities and serve as a stimulus for further debate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
