About
Ashley Montagu was born Israel Ehrenberg in London, England. He was a British-American anthropologist who popularized topics such as race and gender and their relation to politics and development. He was the rapporteur, in 1950, for the UNESCO statement The Race Question. As a young man he changed his name to "Montague Francis Ashley-Montagu". After relocating to the United States he used the name "Ashley Montagu". Montagu, who became a naturalized American citizen in 1940, taught and lectured at Harvard, Princeton University, Rutgers University, the University of California, and New York University. He authored over sixty books throughout this lifetime. In 1995, the American Humanist Association named him the Humanist of the Year. Nevertheless, he taught anatomy to medical students in the United States, before becoming a professor of anthropology at Rutgers University from 1949 until 1955.
