I googled the author and this came up as one of the first results: "Cofnas formerly studied under Neven Sesardić. Like Sesardić, he identifies as a proponent of hereditarianism and "racial realism" (a term used by white nationalists like David Duke as well as the HBD online movement). He argues human races are valid biological categories against the scientific consensus they're not; he disagrees with the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (2019) Statement on Race and Racism"[0] (EDIT: I'm aware the source above isn't totally unbiased but I couldn't find anything else about this guy!) I couldn't find much more besides that he's a philosophy PhD candidate. [1] I suspect he doesn't have the education or credentials to truly study this matter (biology, genetics, neuroscience, etc) and this essay seems to mostly be an argument on the morality of studying these, not the actual science as it has been discovered thus far.
