Occupation Biologist

Robert E. Kuttner (10 March 1927 – 19 February 1987) was an American biologist.

Biography

Kuttner was born in Queens, New York, the son of Hungarian immigrants. He obtained a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Connecticut. Kuttner was a research technician at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (1951–52), research assistant at the University of Connecticut (1954–58) and research associate at The Institute of Living (1958–61).

He was an initial president of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics (1959) and was contributor and associate editor to Charles Lee Smith's Truth Seeker.[1] On 19 July 1963, he testified before Subcommittee No. 5 of the House Judiciary Committee as a representative of the Liberty Lobby in opposition to the Kennedy Administration's civil rights bill.

In 1964–66, Kuttner was a research biochemist at Creighton University School of Medicine. In 1966–70, he was assistant professor and research associate at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago. In 1971–72, Kuttner worked with William Shockley as a research associate at the Electronics Laboratory, Stanford University.

In the years 1973–75, Kuttner was associate professor of Anthropology at the University of Southern Mississippi. He was brought to Hattiesburg by Roger Pearson. After Pearson departure in 1974, Kuttner succeeds him as department chairman. In 1976–77, Kuttner was a Fellow in the Department of Physiology at the LSU Medical Center in New Orleans.

Politics

Kuttner opposed miscegenation and believed it was "unnatural", only found amongst zoo animals.[1] He described his own position as "scientific racism". He identified as a nordicist and argued against racial equality.[2] Kuttner stated that Negroes were racially inferior, they had failed to build and create civilization and they lacked intelligence.[2] Anthropologist Robert Sussman has described Kuttner as a "lifelong neo-Nazi".[1]

Kuttner collaborated on racial ideas about "biopolitics" with Eustace Mullins.[2] He wrote for Roger Pearson's Northern World, The American Mercury and was an editor of the Mankind Quarterly. He edited the book Race and Modern Science (1967), in response to the UNESCO statements on race.[3] It was negatively reviewed by Sherwood Washburn who described it as a "useful source book for racists. Anthropologists need not bother with it."[4]
