Gerhard Meisenberg is a German biochemist who is the editor-in-chief of Mankind Quarterly, a journal which publishes content endorsing scientific racism and eugenics.[2][3][4][5]

Meisenberg is on the advisory board for the journal Intelligence.[2][3] According to Wired, a letter Meisenberg sent to Nature advocated for eugenics or genetic engineering to be considered for groups where a genetic difference in intelligence is found.[6]

Angela Saini, in an opinion for The Guardian, has said that Meisenberg's views race and intelligence are "unsupported by evidence, generally receive little to no attention from within the everyday scientific community".[3]

He is a professor of physiology and biochemistry at Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica.[7][1]
