Francis Graham Crookshank

Francis Graham Crookshank (1873, Wimbledon – 27 October 1933, Wimpole Street, London) was a British epidemiologist, and a medical and psychological writer, and Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians.

[1] His work attempted to combine medicine with the individual psychology of Alfred Adler, along with eugenics and Nietzsche's philosophy of the will.

[2][3] His 123-page scientific racist publication The Mongol in our Midst (1924) was both popular and controversial in both England and the United States.

In 1931, Crookshank published a "greatly enlarged and entirely rewritten" 524-page edition "with numerous illustrations," with responses to critics and additional theories and claims.

[4] That work incorrectly associated the disorder now known as Down syndrome with the admixture of Asian and European "blood".
