The Human Diversity Foundation (HDF) is a far-right company founded in 2022 to publish "race science" through the Aporia Magazine and Mankind Quarterly.
The Human Diversity Foundation was founded by Emil Kirkegaard, a Danish far-right activist under his legal name William Engman in 2022.
[1] The other HDF leaders are Matthew Frost, a British former teacher and founder of the Aporia Magazine, and Erik Ahrens, a German white nationalist and social media advisor for the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).
[1] Pesta who had received money from the Pioneer Fund was dismissed from his position at Cleveland State University in 2022 for misusing genetic data in his research.
[4] According to their reporting, "After being approached by the Guardian, Conru pulled his support, saying the group appeared to have deviated from its original mission of 'non-partisan academic research'.
[7] Hidden camera footage revealed Matthew Frost in 2023 claiming that "they’ve managed to get access to the UK Biobank,” and to know more "talk to Emil".
[7] In response, a UK Biobank representative commented that they have "continued to monitor and prevent attempts to access the resource by Kirkegaard and other researchers believed to be connected with him".
[9] Bo Winegard, Aporia’s executive editor has stated that he believes racial stereotypes are "reasonably accurate" and has requested that his readers embrace "white identity politics".
[14] HDF plans to create a white-only ethnostate by forcibly expelling non-ethnically European minorities, a tactic they describe as "remigration".
[1][4] This term has become a popular euphemism in recent years among far-right political groups in Germany and Austria to refer to the mass deportation of minorities.
[1] HDF Leader Matthew Frost has stated that AfD's key policy should be remigration if the party were to take power.
[4] Erik Ahrens, a HDF leader, has defended the Waffen-SS and has stated that he wants to create a home for "white, Christian people", as he believes they are under threat from immigration.
