	Ashley Montagu (1905-1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Ashley Montagu, born Israel Ehrenberg in East London in 1905, was one of those rare men of learning who succeeded in making substantive scholarly contributions to their academic disciplines while at the same time maintaining contact with the educated layman, indeed contributing substantively to the latter's learning.
		Montagu emphasized that gene-frequency analysis of traits would tell us more about the evolution of human populations, arguing that the omelet conception of racial mixing was totally artificial and did nothing to explain the origins and consequences of the differences between populations.
		Montagu became Malinowski's first student, and surely bears the latter's imprint (along with an even stronger one, some feel, from his other great teacher, Franz Boas); but he soon diverged in favor of a strong biological orientation, particularly in matters pertaining to psychology.

	Ashley Montagu: Anthropologist and Social Biologist
		In these and other works Montagu was always a strong advocate of gene-environment interactionism, stressing that heredity is not biologically given in the genes, and that man's constitution is a dynamic process arising out of the interaction between his unique experiential history and the constraints and potential encoded in his genetic material.
		Montagu emphasized social cooperation and love as critical selectional factors in evolution—ideas that considerably predated the sociobiological preoccupation with altruism in the late 1970s.
		In any case, it is clear that Ashley Montagu cast his lot with the new dual role of the social scientist, and fulfilled both aspects of it admirably.
