Edward Croft Dutton (born 1980) is a British academic.[1] He has written controversial racialist articles for fringe far-right journals such as Mankind Quarterly and OpenPsych.[2][3]

Career[edit]

Dutton has a degree in Theology from Durham University and a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Aberdeen.[4]

As of 2012, Dutton was a religious anthropologist employed as a teacher at the University of Oulu in Finland and was also reported to be a freelance editor.[5] By 2016, he was a Docent in anthropology at the same university and had a Finnish wife and two children.[6][7] In September 2016, Oulu University started an investigation into an article by Dutton and Richard Lynn, "A negative Flynn effect in Finland, 1997–2009", published in Intelligence in 2013.[8] In an announcement made by the university in June 2017, Dutton was found to have conducted scientific misconduct due to plagiarism.[9] The article discussed IQ tests done on Finnish conscripts, and a table of the IQ test results had been compiled by a student for a master's thesis which was not attributed. Dutton stated in his response that the master's thesis was attributed in his original version but that Lynn had removed the attribution. Although Lynn took responsibility for the incident, the university did not investigate Lynn's part because he had never been associated with the institution.[10] Dutton was not employed by the university at the time of the incident either, but the university investigated it due to its name being used in the study. The university informed Lynn's affiliates about the conclusion and asked Intelligence to issue a correction.[9]

In 2018, Dutton published a study of the personal life of the controversial Canadian psychologist J. Philippe Rushton, analysing an autobiographical manuscript written by Rushton and speaking to dozens of people who had known him. He said of this "I was… instinctively sympathetic to him in a way that a lot of his critics aren’t… I was rather less sure he was wrong."[11]

Dutton was previously editor-in-chief of the pseudoscientific[12][13] racist[14][15][16][17] journal Mankind Quarterly.[18] As of 2021, he was a member of its Advisory Board.[19] Some of the books Dutton has authored have been published by Washington Summit Publishers operated by neo-Nazi Richard B. Spencer.[3][20][21] He is currently listed as an editor of the Radix Journal, which was also founded by Spencer.[22]

In May 2021, Dutton was reported to be teaching evolutionary psychology at Asbiro University in Poland,[23] a privately-run business school in Łódź, Poland.[21]

Dutton operates a Youtube channel called "Prof. Edward Dutton: The Jolly Heretic."[24]

Views[edit]

Dutton has published work on human intelligence, such as a study he co-authored with Richard Lynn in 2014 which claimed that physical scientists are more intelligent than social scientists.[25][26] He has co-written a paper with Jan te Nijenhuis about the average IQ in Finland, and the apparent discrepancy between Finland's high average IQ and its relative lack of Nobel Prize-winning scientists.[27][28]

Dutton wrote in 2014 "… my research finds that it is not only fervent religiousness that is associated with low intelligence, but any fervent advocacy of an ideology - whether it is Marxism, multiculturalism, or conservative nationalism. Indeed, I would argue that ideologies are, in many ways, replacement religions."[29]

In December 2017, an article by Dutton in Evolutionary Psychological Science, "The Mutant Says in His Heart, There Is No God" concluded that academics are overwhelmingly atheist, but that atheists are genetic mutants, most of whom would not have been born if the world had not broken free of pre-industrial conditions of Darwinian selection. It also found that atheists are more likely to be left handed than others.[30]

Dutton's 2018 book At Our Wits' End, coauthored with Michael Woodley, was reviewed by Egyptology student Julien Delhez for the journal Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences in 2020. Delhez described the book's strengths as "its accessibility to the general public and the amount of evidence provided by the authors for a decline in g.h. [heritable general intelligence]".[31]

Dutton wrote a paper in defense of Kevin MacDonald's Culture of Critique series, which claims that Jewish people are biologically ethnocentric to the detriment of other groups. The work was published in the journal Evolutionary Psychological Science in 2018.[32] The article was defended by the journal's editor, Todd K. Shackelford, as a good fit because it was "risky", while board member Steven Pinker criticized the journal's decisions to publish the paper. Pinker said it contributed nothing new, and was unsupported by evolutionary psychology while also repeating old antisemitic canards.[33]

In 2018, Dutton has attended the London Conference on Intelligence, which is associated with eugenics,[33][34]and was one of fifteen attendees who contributed to a defense of the conference published in Intelligence in response to media coverage of the event.[35]

In 2019, Dutton gave a speech for the white nationalist group Patriotic Alternative operated by neo-Nazi Mark Collett.[20] Dutton has appeared as a guest on the white nationalist[36] podcast Red Ice.[37][38] In November 2019, Dutton spoke at the far-right Scandza Forum, in Oslo.[39][40]

On 19 October 2019, Dutton addressed the annual conference of the far-right Traditional Britain Group, where he argued that British inventions and genius placed them at the apex of civilisation.[41][non-primary source needed]

Dutton has lectured in favor of ideas about race and intelligence, such as his belief that people with "blonde hair and blues eyes" have higher intelligence, according to his theories in his book How to Judge People by What They Look Like. According to Aidan Bridgeman, a University of Aberdeen student writing in the Gaudie, Dutton has stated that Black Lives Matter advocates are mentally ill, that Muslims have a natural tendency to want to commit genocide, and that left-handed people are pedophiles.[3]

Personal life[edit]

Dutton is distantly related to Sir Piers Dutton, about whom he wrote a biographical book entitled The Ruler of Cheshire: Sir Piers Dutton, Tudor Gangland and the Violent Politics of the Palatine.[7] A British citizen, in 2017 he was living in Oulu, Finland, and was married to a Finnish woman with whom he had two children.[6]

Works[edit]

Dutton has written 16 books,[42] as well as chapters in books The Routledge Companion to Religion and Popular Culture[43] and the Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Psychological Science.[44]
