Roger Pearson (anthropologist)
Roger Pearson (born 21 August 1927) is a British physical anthropologist, eugenicist, white supremacist, political organiser for the extreme right and publisher of political and academic journals.
Pearson was a part of the faculty of the Queens University of Charlotte, the University of Southern Mississippi, and Montana Tech, before his retirement. It has been noted that Pearson was surprisingly successful in combining a career in academia with political activities on the far right.
Pearson served in the British Army after World War II, and was a businessman in South Asia. In the late 1950s, he founded the Northern League. In the 1960s, he established himself in the United States for a while working together with Willis Carto publishing white supremacist and antisemitic literature. He was a regular contributor to The Heritage Foundation's periodicals.
Pearson's anthropological work was based in the eugenic belief that "favourable" genes can be identified and segregated from "unfavourable" ones. He advocated a belief in biological racialism, and claimed that human races can be ranked. Pearson argues that the future of the human species depends on political and scientific steps to replace the "genetic formulae" and populations that he considers to be inferior with ones he considers to be superior.
Pearson was still alive as of May 2019[update].
Roger Pearson was born in London on 21 August 1927. Pearson's only sibling and four of his cousins died in World War II. Pearson later described World War II as a "fratricidal war" in which the mutual destruction of Germanic peoples contributed to the gradual downfall of the Nordic race.
Pearson joined the British Army's Queen's Royal Regiment in April 1945 in England, and was commissioned in 1946 from the British Indian Army's Officers Training School Kakul, North-West Frontier Province, which is now the Pakistan Military Academy. He served with the British Indian Army in Meerut in 1946 before the Partition of India, with the British Indian Division in the Occupation of Japan, and with the British Army in Singapore in 1948, before returning to university in England. Pearson later directed various British-controlled companies in East Pakistan, which is present-day Bangladesh.[citation needed]
In 1967, Pearson began teaching anthropology as an assistant professor at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM). In 1969 he received a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of London. In 1971, USM granted Pearson full professorship and appointed him Chair of the department of anthropology and sociology. Three years later, Pearson left USM and taught at the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology for one year. After resigning from that school, Pearson founded the Institute for the Study of Man.
