Racial research became the focus of a handful of groups intent on keeping<br \/>\nthe eugenics tradition alive.<\/p>\n<p>Though they operated on the fringes of academia, these groups received financial support from private donors. The most prominent of these donors was <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/0002764295039001006\">the Pioneer Fund<\/a>, a charity <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.co.uk\/books?id=hDmmPwAACAAJ&amp;dq=inauthor:%22William+H.+Tucker%22&amp;hl=en&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;sa=X&amp;redir_esc=y\">established in 1937<\/a> to support race science and white supremacy in the US and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>These groups were close-knit.

Some decades later ownership of the journal was transferred to the Ulster Institute for Social Research, a eugenicist think tank founded and directed by Richard Lynn. Lynn is <a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordre.com\/psychology\/display\/10.1093\/acrefore\/9780190236557.001.0001\/acrefore-9780190236557-e-516\">widely considered<\/a> the intellectual figurehead of 21st-century eugenics.<\/p>\n<p>The Mankind Quarterly quickly became known as a <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.co.uk\/books?id=OBsHSzmkYHkC&amp;newbks=1&amp;newbks_redir=0&amp;dq=inauthor:%22William+H.+Tucker%22&amp;source=gbs_navlinks_s\">bastion of scientific racism<\/a>.

In France, Nouvelle \u00c9cole (\u201cNew School\u201d) was established in 1967 by a white nationalist group. In Germany, Neue Anthropologie (\u201cNew Anthropology\u201d) was first published in 1973.<\/p>\n<p>These publications were part of the same networks.

When he died, Lynn was the director of the Pioneer Fund and the editor-in-chief of Mankind Quarterly. Organisations like HDF, led by people who have worked closely with Lynn, are trying to fill that void. <\/p>\n<p>Whether the HDF will survive public scrutiny remains to be seen.
