In this episode we try to shed some light on the shadowy Pioneer Fund which has supported racist science and white supremacist political activism since the 1930s. From its founder Wycliffe Draper through Henry Garrett and Roger Pearson with Mankind Quarterly to William Shockley and Arthur Jensen and finally The Bell Curve, we trace some of the racist threads that dogged the 20th century and are still active. Resources are available with the transcript.

I am a long time listener and sometimes historian of science. I have heard rumors that Ashley Montague was, at a personal level, often disliked, which was one reason why he left (or was asked to leave) Princeton. I also heard that he would occasionally lie. I'm wondering if that may be one reason why Dobzhansky felt the need to write the "secret letter." Perhaps Dobz and others didn't entirely trust AM at a personal level. Thoughts?
