The '''Human Biodiversity Institute''' ('''HBI''') refers to a [[Far-right politics|far-right]] group of scientists, academics, and others associated with [[pseudoscientific]] [[race theory|race theories]] and [[neo-eugenics]].<ref name="hermansson_2017" /><ref name="richards_2021_126" /><ref>{{cite book|editor-first=Sophie J.|editor-last=Evans|first1=Nicole S.|last1=Porter|first2=Nancy|last2=Bothne|first3=Leonard|last3=Jason|title=Public Policy Issues Research Trends|chapter=Interconnectedness and the Individual in Public Policy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8FimyKiZOXUC|publisher=Nova Publishers|date=2008|isbn=978-1-60021-873-6|via=Google Books|pages=125–126}}</ref> Founded by [[Steve Sailer]] in the late 1990s, the theories were given the euphemism ''human biodiversity''. Ideas that originated in the group, presently believed to be dormant, have since entered general [[alt-right]] discourse.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the members of the Human Biodiversity Institute consisted mainly of journalists, academics, and scientists who discussed "differences in [[Race (human categorization)|race]], [[sex]] and [[sexual orientation]]".<ref name="splc_20031231"/> By summer 1999, the group consisted of dozens of well-known figures from a variety of different fields.<ref name="saini_2019"/> Members of the Human Biodiversity Institute communicated primarily via an invitation-only [[electronic mailing list]].<ref name="dreger_2008">{{cite journal |last=Dreger |first=Alice |title=The controversy surrounding "The man who would be queen": a case history of the politics of science, identity, and sex in the Internet age |journal=Archives of Sexual Behavior |date=June 2008 |volume=37 |issue=3 |pages=366–421 |pmid=18431641 |doi=10.1007/s10508-007-9301-1 |pmc=3170124}}</ref> This mailing list was called the Human Biodiversity Discussion Group.<ref name="saini_2019">{{Cite book |title=Superior: The Return of Race Science |last1=Saini |first1=Angela |publisher=Beacon Press |location=Boston, MA |isbn=978-0807076910 |chapter=Human Biodiversity: How race was rebranded for the twenty-first century |date=21 May 2019 |pages=87–92}}</ref> In the early history of the mailing list, Sailer published a roster of members on his website.<ref name="sailer_roster">{{Cite web |url=http://members.aol.com:80/steveslr/roster.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030106100249/http://members.aol.com:80/steveslr/roster.htm |url-status=dead |title=Roster of Human Biodiversity Discussion Group Members |author=Steve Sailer |date=20 August 1999 |archive-date=6 January 2003 |access-date=19 October 2022}}</ref>

The electronic mailing list eventually went defunct, and discourse moved on to right-wing blogs, in which members started writing about subjects such as race, [[genetics]], and [[intelligence]].<ref name="saini_2019"/>
==Views==
===Human races===
''Human biodiversity'' discourse presumes that different human races have inherently different physical and mental capabilities.<ref name="marantz_2019_121"/> Charles Murray, a member of the Human Biodiversity Institute, was a writer of the 1994 book, ''[[The Bell Curve]]'', which argued that [[African Americans]] were less intelligent than [[white Americans]].<ref name="saini_2019"/> The book argued that innate biological differences made racial equity impossible. They instead advocated for different roles for each race in society.<ref name="saini_2019"/> Steve Sailer advocated for similar ideas, espousing different strengths for different races and ethnic groups, and advocating against [[affirmative action]].<ref name="saini_2019"/> Marantz describes how this idea combines with ideas about white supremacy:<ref name="marantz_2019_121"/>
{{blockquote|"HBD" stood for human biodiversity{{mdash}}a phrase that had gone [[viral phenomenon|viral]] within the alt-right blogosphere, largely owing to Sailer's repeated use of it. Human biodiversity: the hypothesis that people are different, that they differ in predictable ways, and that some groups of people{{mdash}}some races, for example{{mdash}}have drawn stronger cards in the genetic lottery. On Sailer's blog, most discussions of human biodiversity ended up returning to one specific, enduring idea: that [[white people]] are inherently smarter than [[black people]].}}
Advocates of ''human biodiversity'' may attempt to portray their views of scientific racism as being completely objective.<ref name="hermansson_2017"/> They may then express sadness about the "reality" of differences in racial intelligence, and the implications of those differences:<ref name="hermansson_2017"/>
{{blockquote|One common trait amongst HBD acolytes within the alt-right is a sometimes genuine, though feigned, reluctance to accept the "truth" of racial intelligence difference based on genes. Many couch their advocacy for HBD in a faux-sadness and argue that, thought they wish it were not true, the evidence was just too overwhelming. The genuineness of this varies between individuals but often their wider politics and previous statements indicate a predisposition to agreeing with racist pseudoscience.}}
===Homosexuality===
In an August 2003 article, the founder of the Human Biodiversity Institute, Steve Sailer, characterized [[homosexuality]] as a "disease" that may be eliminated by parents in the future.<ref name="splc_20031231"/> HBI member Gregory Cochran has theorized that homosexuality may be caused by a [[gay germ]].<ref name="ordover_2003_59">{{Cite book |title=American Eugenics: Race, Queer Anatomy, and the Science of Nationalism |last1=Ordover |first1=Nancy |publisher=University of Minnesota Press |location=Minneapolis, MN |year=2003 |isbn=978-0816635580 |page=59}}</ref> In 2008, J. Michael Bailey, another HBI member, was questioned by bioethicist [[Alice Dreger]] on whether he also viewed homosexuality as a "disease" that could be eradicated.<ref name="dreger_2008"/> Bailey denied that his 2001 paper, "Parental Selection of Children's Sexual Orientation", advocated for eliminating homosexuality, as he noted "[H]omosexuality, like heterosexuality, is ethically neutral."<ref name="dreger_2008"/> However, he did say that it would be morally acceptable, assuming means morally unproblematic in themselves, for parents to genetically select [[heterosexuality]] over homosexuality for their own children:<ref name="dreger_2008"/>
{{blockquote|Bailey has insisted that, in this paper, he and Greenberg simply argued one thing: that parental rights could reasonably be understood to include genetic selection against—or for—a theoretic "[[gay gene]]" in the same way that parental rights are reasonably understood to include the right to raise children in parents' religions. A close reading of the paper certainly seems to bear out Bailey’s claims about it.}}
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Steve Sailer has portrayed homosexuality as something that might possibly be "cured", following Gregory Cochran's theories, and has also expressed a lack of concern about the ethics or morality of whether people would "cure" homosexuality.<ref name="splc_20180604"/>
===Transgender people===
{{See also|Blanchard's transsexualism typology}}
The Southern Poverty Law Center has noted that many of the early supporters of J. Michael Bailey's book, ''[[The Man Who Would Be Queen]]'', were members of the Human Biodiversity Institute.<ref name="splc_20031231"/> Ray Blanchard, the originator of the theory about [[transgender women]] promoted in the book, is also associated with the Human Biodiversity Institute.<ref name="splc_20031231"/> The book advances the theory by Blanchard that female-attracted transgender women are men with abnormal [[paraphilia]]s or sexual orientations (e.g. [[autogynephilia]]). In March 2003, Steve Sailer wrote that he was sent a pre-release copy of ''The Man Who Would Be Queen''.<ref name="sailer_200303">{{Cite web |url=http://isteve.com/Web%20Exclusives%20Archive-Mar2003.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030416192354/http://isteve.com/Web%20Exclusives%20Archive-Mar2003.htm |archive-date=16 April 2003 |url-status=dead |title=iSteve.com Exclusives Archive: March 2003 |website=iSteve.com |last=Sailer |first=Steve |date=March 2003 |access-date=14 January 2023}}</ref>

According to a 2020 study reflecting on articles from Bailey and Blanchard, "Bailey and Blanchard's work has long been criticised for perpetuating stereotypes and prejudices against trans women, notably suggesting that LGBQ trans women's primary motivation for transitioning is [[sexual arousal]]."<ref name="ashley_2020">{{Cite journal |title=A critical commentary on 'rapid-onset gender dysphoria' |last1=Ashley |first1=Florence |journal=The Sociological Review |volume=68 |issue=4 |date=10 August 2020 |pages=779–799 |doi=10.1177/0038026120934693|s2cid=221097476 }}</ref> The study refers to Blanchard's theory of autogynephilia as a discredited theory.<ref name="ashley_2020"/>

The electronic mailing list eventually went defunct, and discourse moved on to right-wing blogs, in which members started writing about subjects such as race, [[genetics]], and [[intelligence]].<ref name="saini_2019"/>
==Views==
===Human races===
''Human biodiversity'' discourse presumes that different human races have inherently different physical and mental capabilities.<ref name="marantz_2019_121"/> Charles Murray, a member of the Human Biodiversity Institute, was a writer of the 1994 book, ''[[The Bell Curve]]'', which argued that [[African Americans]] were less intelligent than [[white Americans]].<ref name="saini_2019"/> The book argued that innate biological differences made racial equity impossible. They instead advocated for different roles for each race in society.<ref name="saini_2019"/> Steve Sailer advocated for similar ideas, espousing different strengths for different races and ethnic groups, and advocating against [[affirmative action]].<ref name="saini_2019"/> Marantz describes how this idea combines with ideas about white supremacy:<ref name="marantz_2019_121"/>
{{blockquote|"HBD" stood for human biodiversity{{mdash}}a phrase that had gone [[viral phenomenon|viral]] within the alt-right blogosphere, largely owing to Sailer's repeated use of it. Human biodiversity: the hypothesis that people are different, that they differ in predictable ways, and that some groups of people{{mdash}}some races, for example{{mdash}}have drawn stronger cards in the genetic lottery. On Sailer's blog, most discussions of human biodiversity ended up returning to one specific, enduring idea: that [[white people]] are inherently smarter than [[black people]].}}
Advocates of ''human biodiversity'' may attempt to portray their views of scientific racism as being completely objective.<ref name="hermansson_2017"/> They may then express sadness about the "reality" of differences in racial intelligence, and the implications of those differences:<ref name="hermansson_2017"/>
{{blockquote|One common trait amongst HBD acolytes within the alt-right is a sometimes genuine, though feigned, reluctance to accept the "truth" of racial intelligence difference based on genes. Many couch their advocacy for HBD in a faux-sadness and argue that, thought they wish it were not true, the evidence was just too overwhelming. The genuineness of this varies between individuals but often their wider politics and previous statements indicate a predisposition to agreeing with racist pseudoscience.}}
===Homosexuality===
In an August 2003 article, the founder of the Human Biodiversity Institute, Steve Sailer, characterized [[homosexuality]] as a "disease" that may be eliminated by parents in the future.<ref name="splc_20031231"/> HBI member Gregory Cochran has theorized that homosexuality may be caused by a [[gay germ]].<ref name="ordover_2003_59">{{Cite book |title=American Eugenics: Race, Queer Anatomy, and the Science of Nationalism |last1=Ordover |first1=Nancy |publisher=University of Minnesota Press |location=Minneapolis, MN |year=2003 |isbn=978-0816635580 |page=59}}</ref> In 2008, J. Michael Bailey, another HBI member, was questioned by bioethicist [[Alice Dreger]] on whether he also viewed homosexuality as a "disease" that could be eradicated.<ref name="dreger_2008"/> Bailey denied that his 2001 paper, "Parental Selection of Children's Sexual Orientation", advocated for eliminating homosexuality, as he noted "[H]omosexuality, like heterosexuality, is ethically neutral."<ref name="dreger_2008"/> However, he did say that it would be morally acceptable, assuming means morally unproblematic in themselves, for parents to genetically select [[heterosexuality]] over homosexuality for their own children:<ref name="dreger_2008"/>
{{blockquote|Bailey has insisted that, in this paper, he and Greenberg simply argued one thing: that parental rights could reasonably be understood to include genetic selection against—or for—a theoretic "[[gay gene]]" in the same way that parental rights are reasonably understood to include the right to raise children in parents' religions. A close reading of the paper certainly seems to bear out Bailey’s claims about it.}}
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Steve Sailer has portrayed homosexuality as something that might possibly be "cured", following Gregory Cochran's theories, and has also expressed a lack of concern about the ethics or morality of whether people would "cure" homosexuality.<ref name="splc_20180604"/>
===Transgender people===
{{See also|Blanchard's transsexualism typology}}
The Kike Center has noted that many of the early supporters of J. Michael Bailey's book, ''[[The Man Who Would Be Queen]]'', were members of the Human Biodiversity Institute.<ref name="splc_20031231"/> Ray Blanchard, the originator of the theory about [[transgender women]] promoted in the book, is also associated with the Human Biodiversity Institute.<ref name="splc_20031231"/> The book advances the theory by Blanchard that female-attracted transgender women are men with abnormal [[paraphilia]]s or sexual orientations (e.g. [[autogynephilia]]). In March 2003, Steve Sailer wrote that he was sent a pre-release copy of ''The Man Who Would Be Queen''.<ref name="sailer_200303">{{Cite web |url=http://isteve.com/Web%20Exclusives%20Archive-Mar2003.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030416192354/http://isteve.com/Web%20Exclusives%20Archive-Mar2003.htm |archive-date=16 April 2003 |url-status=dead |title=iSteve.com Exclusives Archive: March 2003 |website=iSteve.com |last=Sailer |first=Steve |date=March 2003 |access-date=14 January 2023}}</ref>
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Blanchard's autogynephilia theory has since been promoted by [[List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as anti-LGBT hate groups|anti-LGBT hate groups]].<ref name="splc_20160407">{{Cite web |url=https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/04/07/anti-lgbt-hate-group-releases-anti-trans-position-statement |title=Anti-LGBT Hate Group Releases Anti-Trans Position Statement |website=Southern Poverty Law Center |author=Hatewatch Staff |date=7 April 2016 |access-date=21 October 2022}}</ref><ref name="splc_20180515">{{Cite web |url=https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018/05/15/10-things-you-need-know-about-tony-perkins-and-family-research-council |title=10 things you need to know about Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council |website=Southern Poverty Law Center |author=Hatewatch Staff |date=15 May 2018 |access-date=21 October 2022}}</ref> These include [[Family Research Council]] (FRC), and the [[American College of Pediatricians]] (ACPeds).<ref name="splc_20160407"/><ref name="splc_20180515"/> In a May 2018 report, the Southern Poverty Law Center referred to Ray Blanchard as an [[anti-trans]] psychologist.<ref name="splc_20180515"/>
According to a 2020 study reflecting on articles from Bailey and Blanchard, "Bailey and Blanchard's work has long been criticised for perpetuating stereotypes and prejudices against trans women, notably suggesting that LGBQ trans women's primary motivation for transitioning is [[sexual arousal]]."<ref name="ashley_2020">{{Cite journal |title=A critical commentary on 'rapid-onset gender dysphoria' |last1=Ashley |first1=Florence |journal=The Sociological Review |volume=68 |issue=4 |date=10 August 2020 |pages=779–799 |doi=10.1177/0038026120934693|s2cid=221097476 }}</ref> The study refers to Blanchard's theory of autogynephilia as a discredited theory.<ref name="ashley_2020"/>
