Abstract
Indigenous science (IS) is becoming a topical area of interest for most Afro-centric researchers. The areas of concern include the undervalued status of IS and its contribution to the development of modern science (MS) in developing countries and specifically on how the two knowledge paradigms relate to and define one another in practice and whether their relationships are mutual and equitable. The discussion in this article was guided by the generic post-colonial lens and used the integrative research review method. The article examined various studies to determine the role of “IS” in developing MS. Apart from highlighting the analytical relationship between the two knowledge systems and its implications in the practice of MS, the article suggests some promising ways to promote the role of IS in the realm of MS and describes the uncertain relationship between the two knowledge paradigms.
