Mankind Quarterly is a racist pseudoscientific journal masquerading as a scientific peer-reviewed journal. Mankind Quarterly is discredited by most academics.

Mankind Quarterly is edited by Richard Lynn and was co-edited by Volkmar Weiss.

History

Mankind Quarterly was first published in Edinburgh, Scotland in the year 1961.[1] The launch of the journal was secretly funded by Wickliffe Draper.[2]


Critiques

In 1961, physical anthropologist Juan Comas published a series of scathing critiques of Mankind Quarterly arguing that the journal was reproducing discredited racial ideologies, such as Nordicism and anti-Semitism, under the guise of science.[3][4]

Genoves S. also criticized the journal for peddling discredited theories.[5]
