Aurelio José Figueredo

As of 2018, Figueredo was identified by the Associated Press as the only U.S. scientific researcher receiving funding from the Pioneer Fund, a non-profit institute which promotes scientific racism and eugenics. A Pioneer Fund grant was given to the University of Arizona, and was used by Figueredo to attend the 2016 London Conference on Intelligence, where presentations on eugenics are given. Figueredo has also reviewed papers for Mankind Quarterly, a journal which has advocated for racial hierarchy, and in 2009 coauthored a paper for the journal with J. Philippe Rushton, the Pioneer Fund's president at the time. Figueredo has disavowed eugenics and racial inferiority.wiki
