Cambridge University Press



Cambridge University Press is the world's oldest publishing house (since 1534) and the second-largest university press in the world. It publishes over 50000 titles from authors in 100 countries, including numerous Nobel Prize winners. It also publishes numerous academic journals (links to Wikipedia). It is one of two in the United Kingdom, along with the Oxford University Press.

Publishing of pseudoscience
Although it is normally considered a respectable academic publisher, in recent years it has published a few books espousing racialism and hereditarianism, some of it written by known white nationalists and pseudoscientists, with extensive citations to "research" bankrolled by the white supremacist Pioneer Fund. These include the following:


 * Making Sense of Heritability (2005) by - Unabashed advocacy of hereditarianism, including a defense of Arthur Jensen.
 * The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016) by Richard Haier — More or less what you'd expect from Haier (see his article).
 * Cognitive Capitalism (2018) by Heiner Rindermann — Naked racialism, citations to Rushton, Jensen and Richard Lynn, etc.

'Journal of Biosocial Science

 * Cambridge University Press is the publisher of the Journal of Biosocial Science which has published some controversial and pseudoscientific papers including studies on the IQs of "third world immigrants" in the Netherlands by Jan te Nijenhuis,  and similar papers by Edward Dutton, and Heiner Rindermann,   The same journal has also published questionable papers by Gregory Cochran on Ashkenazi IQ, and several papers by white supremacist Richard Lynn.

The publication of this material by Cambridge University Press, as well as similar material published by is sometimes brought up by racialists to argue that their ideas are real science. (Do you believe that?)

Keep in mind that Cambridge University Press publishing racialist pseudoscience does not completely invalidate their positive reputation. CUP normally does publish legitimate scientific and academic works, the publication of pseudoscience is generally an inverse stopped clock moment for CUP.
