John Philippe Rushton (December 3, 1943 – October 2, 2012) was a British-born Canadian psychology professor at the University of Western Ontario who became known to the general public during the 1980s and 1990s for research on race and intelligence, race and crime, and other apparent racial variation. His book ''Race, Evolution, and Behavior'' (1995) is about the application of r/K selection theory to humans. Rushton's controversial work came under attack within the scientific community for the quality of the research,〔See, for example: * * *Francisco Gil-White, (Resurrecting Racism, Chapter 10 ) * *Douglas Wahlsten (2001) (Book Review of Race, Evolution and Behavior ) * *〕 and allegations that it was racist.〔See, for example: *Knudson P. (1991), ''A Mirror to Nature: Reflections on Science, Scientists, and Society''; Rushton on Race, Stoddart Publishing (ISBN 0773724672) pp 6, 168 * * * * * * * * *(From Student Resistance to Embracing the Sociological Imagination: Unmasking Privilege, Social Conventions, and Racism ), Haddad, Angela T.; Lieberman, Leonard, Teaching Sociology, v30 n3 p328 41 Jul 2002〕 From 2002 he was head of the Pioneer Fund, a research foundation accused of being racist.〔See, for example: *Avner Falk. ''Anti-semitism: a history and psychoanalysis of contemporary hatred'', Abc-Clio, 2008, pg. 18 *William H. Tucker, ''The funding of scientific racism: Wickliffe Draper and the Pioneer Fund'', University of Illinois Press, 2002 *Andrew Wroe. ''The Republican Party and Immigration Politics: from Proposition 187 to George W. Bush'', University of Illinois Press, 2008, p. 81 *("Racial Scientist Rushton Takes Over Pioneer Fund" ), Bethune Institute of Anti-Fascist Studies, 2003〕 Rushton was a Fellow of the American, British, and Canadian Psychological Associations and onetime Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. ==Early life and education== Rushton was born in Bournemouth, England. During his childhood, he emigrated with his family to South Africa, where he lived from age four to eight (1948–1952). His father was a building contractor and his mother came from France. The family moved to Canada, where Rushton spent most of his teen years. He returned to England for university, receiving a B.Sc. in psychology from Birkbeck College at the University of London in 1970, and, in 1973, his Ph.D. from the London School of Economics for work on altruism in children. He continued his work at the University of Oxford until 1974. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J. Philippe Rushton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
