Mankind quarterly

It was founded in 1961 by Robert Geyry , Henry Garrett , Roger Pearson , Corrado Gini , Luigi Gedda (Honorary Member of the Editorial Board ) ^[1] , Otmar von Vershuer and Reginald Gates . Initially, the magazine was published by the International Association for the Promotion of Ethnology and Eugenics

One of the likely prerequisites for the creation of the magazine was the 1954 decision of the US Supreme Court in the case of Brown v. Board of Education , which abolished racial segregation in American schools. ^{[2] [3]}

After the death of Gates, the anthropologist Carlton Stevens Kuhn , who sympathized with the racial and hereditary views of the magazine’s editorial staff, was asked to replace the deceased, but he rejected this offer with the words: “ I’m afraid that for a professional anthropologist, becoming a member of the editorial board is like a kiss of death .”

The journal is funded through grants . ^[4] Thus, Roger Pearson received Russian from the racist non-profit organization Pioneer Fund in the 1980s and 1990s grants worth more than one million dollars. ^[five]

Since 1979, the journal has been published by the Council for Social and Economic Studies . Since 2015, the publisher is the Ulster Institute for Social Research .

The magazine was first sharply criticized already in 1961, when the famous physical anthropologist Juan Comas published several devastating articles in which he noted that the publication had stained itself with reproduction under the guise of science of such racist ideas as Nordism and anti-Semitism . ^{[6] [7] [8] The} criticism of Comas caused a number of responses and criticism from the editorial staff published on the pages of the magazine itself, including the extremely sharp review by James A. Gregor on the monograph by Comas “Racial Myths” . Racial Myths ). Comas later noted in Current Anthropology that the journal reviews of his book were politically colored, like the claims that Jews were a “biological race”, as the then racial biologists thought. In 1962, Umar Rolf von Ehrenfels Triloki Nat Madan and Juan Comas noted that the editorial activities were biased and misleading. ^[8] In 1963, Reginald Gate and James Gregor answered the criticism on behalf of the editorial board. ^[9] In turn, other anthropologies expressed their indignation at the fact that the editors of the journal allowed themselves to exclude from the articles of the authors those points with which she did not agree. ^{[4] [10] [11]}

Many of those who are somehow connected with the magazine are supporters of heriditarionism . It is noted that the publication is criticized for its commitment to extreme right-wing ideas, racism and fascism . ^{[12] [13]}

In the 1990s during the so-called. The “ Bell Curve Wars” magazine attracted wide attention when critics of Richard Herrnstein’s book were in , Charles Murray drew attention to the fact that the authors referred to works that were originally published in the journal Mankind Quarterly. ^[5] Journalist Charles Lane in an article in The New York Review of Books noted that the book uses " lousy sources ", indicating that seventeen authors whose works are listed in the list of literature were published in the journal, and ten of these individuals at one time or another were members editorial staff. Lane himself praised the publication as "the infamous journal of" racial history "founded and funded by people who believe in the genetic superiority of the white race ." ^[14]
