Mankind Quarterly
The Mankind Quarterly is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to physical anthropology and cultural anthropology and is currently published by The Council for Social and Economic Studies in Washington, D.C. It contains articles on human evolution, intelligence, ethnography, languages, mythology, archaeology, race, etc. It aims to reunify biology with anthropology. The journal was founded in 1960, in part in response to the 1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education which ordered the desegregation of schools in the United States.[1][2] It was originally published in Edinburgh, Scotland, by the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics. The journal seeks to publish work that they feel would otherwise be suppressed due to what they call the political domination of sciences by "liberals, communists and Jews."[2] Many of those who constitute the publication's contributors, Board of Directors and publishers are connected to the academic hereditarian tradition. This journal has been criticized by some as being political and racist.[3] During the "Bell Curve wars" of the 1990s, it received attention when opponents of The Bell Curve publicized the fact that some of the works cited by Bell Curve authors Herrnstein and Murray had first been published in Mankind Quarterly. [4] In the New York Review of Books Charles Lane referred to The Bell Curve's "tainted sources," noting that seventeen researchers cited in the book's bibliography had contributed articles to, and ten of these seventeen had also been editors of, the Mankind Quarterly, "a notorious journal of 'racial history' founded, and funded, by men who believe in the genetic superiority of the white race."[5] The journal stands by these publications to this day, stating that "...this science has stood the test of time, and MQ is still prepared to publish controversial findings and theories".[6] Its sister journal is Roger Pearson's Journal of Indo-European Studies, which also receives major funding from the Pioneer Fund[citation needed]. Pearson received over a million dollars in grants from the Pioneer Fund in the eighties and the nineties. [7] [8] This journal should not be confused with the longstanding Australian anthropological journal "Mankind", now known as "The Australian Journal of Anthropology" or "TAJA".
