Roger Pearson (anthropologist)

"The Pioneer Fund has financed the research of Dr. Roger Pearson and others whose articles have appeared in the racialist Journal of Indo-European Studies and publications from the Institute for the Study of Man, a racialist group that promotes debunked pseudoanthropological claims of a racial Aryanist diaspora similar to those favored by the Nazis."

"...Roger Pearson, had since the 1950s been "one of Americas foremost Nazi apologists and quite clearly a racist with one of the worlds best web of contacts." Before Pearson, along with Marija Gimbutas , Edgar C. Polome and Raimo Antilla, founded the Journal of Indo-European Studies, he had worked with Hans F. K. Gunther, who had continued to spread his racial doctrines after the fall of the Third Reich. Pearson was also chairman of the American Division of the World Anti Communist League and lobbied in Washington for more funds for the Defense, the Contras, and the UNITA guerillas. Together with Polome, one of the United States leading researchers in the area of Germanic religion, he has also published the academic, racist journal the Mankind Quarterly. In the 1970s, the Mankind Quarterly, which alternates articles about race and genetics with articles about the Indo-Europeans and prehistoric cultures, became a model when one of Europe’s leading neo-Fascists, Alain de Benoist, founded his own journal called Nouvelle École ."
