Altohugh I am not particularly upset about it, South African scientists have often not gotten recognition and even the white males ones! [1] [2] I think the discrimination is worse in a way than described in the article. But maybe that touches even on the philosophy of individual recognition itself.

I've been told that in particular, the USA was not keen of giving someone outside of the US recognition for the first heart transplant. And somewhat ironically, Chris Barnard's brother that was part of the team, Marius, did not get recognition (but that may have been due to his less extravagant personality). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marius_Barnard_(surgeon) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marius_Barnard_(surgeon) [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_transplant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_transplant From what I understand, the US was again hesitant to cede to South Africa, instead stressing the first "penis and scrotum" transplant.
