Gerhard Meisenberg is a German biochemist who is the editor-in-chief of Mankind Quarterly.[2][3][4][5]
Meisenberg is on the advisory board for the journal Intelligence.[2][3] Acommentary by Meisenberg published in Nature argued that the nature-nurture controversy is becoming irrelevant because genes can now be manipulated as easily as environments.[6] He also proposed a theory postulating that race differences in intelligence are minimal or do not exist because natural selection favours the same optimal level of intelligence for all human populations [7]
He is a professor of physiology and biochemistry at Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica.[8][1]
