Cambridge University Press
Cambridge University Press is the world's oldest publishing house (since 1534) and the second-largest university press in the world. In recent years, it has also published pseudoscientific material. Although it is ostensibly a respectable academic publisher, it routinely publishes material espousing racialism and hereditarianism, some of it written by known white nationalists and pseudoscientists, with extensive citations to "research" bankrolled by the white supremacist[1][2] Pioneer Fund. Notable publications by Cambridge University Press include the following:
- The Handbook of Intelligence (2000) edited by Robert J. Sternberg — Beats around the bush about race and IQ, but openly advocates the discredited link between human brain size and intelligence, complete with a citation to white nationalist J. Philippe Rushton.
- Making Sense of Heritability (2005) by Nevan Sesardic - Unabashed advocacy of hereditarianism, including a defense of Arthur Jensen.
- Human Intelligence (2011) by Earl Hunt — Advocacy of hereditarianism, racialism, and brain size / IQ correlation; cites The Bell Curve for some of its data.
- The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016) by Richard Haier — More or less what you'd expect from Haier (see his article).
- Cognitive Capitalism (2018) by Heiner Rindermann — Naked racialism, citations to Rushton, Jensen and Richard Lynn, etc.
- Cambridge University Press is the publisher of the Journal of Biosocial Science, a racialist pseudojournal that has published papers by Michael A. Woodley of Menie,[3] Jan te Nijenhuis,[4][5][6] Gerhard Meisenberg,[7][8][9] Edward Dutton,[10] Heiner Rindermann,[11][12][13] Gregory Cochran,[14] and Richard Lynn.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
