Preferred term

Ashley Montagu  

Definition

  • Some might consider Ashley Montagu to be the original sociobiologist, but either they misunderstand the subject or they misunderstand the man. Actually, many of his numerous publications were critical analyses exposing the pseudobiology underlying sociopolitical issues such as racism, sexism, and ageism as well as more general questions about human nature, the nature–nurture controversy, and war and peace. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Montagu, Ashley (1905–1999)]
