“…Geological expeditions/surveys (although not necessarily solely geological -many aspects of fields such as trade, botany, and anthropology were also included) were an instrumental tool of colonial expansion (e.g. Stafford, 1984Stafford, , 1988Sangwan, 1993;Yusoff, 2018;Figueiredo, 2020;Zeller, 2000). Expeditions and surveys played an important role in the economic, technological, and cultural development of colonial powers (Britain and Spain in particular).…”

“…Geology and paleontology (inclusive of paleobiology and evolutionary biology) are part of this system (Bernard and Cooperdock 2018;Montañez 2018). These disciplines are irrevocably tied to a complicated history of colonialism, extraction, and discrimination (Stafford 1988;Secord 2018;Yusoff 2018;Chakrabarti 2019; Table 1). The colonial roots of geology and paleontology have played a fundamental role in shaping their structures and cultures (e.g., Erickson 2020) and must be systemically addressed (Dutt 2020).…”
