I was searching through the archives and found this article that I
missed before.

One warning: The Institute for the Study of Man's director Roger
Pearson is known for his stands on racial eugenics and biological
determinism.

In 1984, the Wall Street Journal called him a "Racial purist."

Here is a short bio of him from Searchlight Magazine:

QUOTE
ROGER PEARSON
Roger Pearson, whose Institute for the Study of Man has been one of
the top Pioneer beneficiaries over the past twenty years ($870,000
from 1981-1996) is the clearest example of the extremist ideology of
the Fund's leadership. Pearson came to the United States in the mid-
sixties to join Willis Carto and the group around Right magazine. In
1965 he became editor of Western Destiny, a magazine established by
Carto and dedicated to spreading fascist ideology. Using the
pseudonym of Stephan Langton, Pearson then became the editor of The
New Patriot, a short-lived magazine published in 1966-67 to
conduct "a responsible but penetrating inquiry into every aspect of
the Jewish Question," which included articles such as "Zionists and
the Plot Against South Africa," "Early Jews and the Rise of Jewish
Money Power," and "Swindlers of the Crematoria." Taking account of
all groups linked to Pearson, Pioneer support between 1975-1996
exceeds one million dollars - nearly ten percent of the total
Pioneer grants for that period.
UNQUOTE

He is also the publisher of Mankind Quarterly and the publisher and
founding editor of The Journal of Indo-European Studies.
