Wikipedia description:
Robert Wilson Shufeldt Jr. (December 1, 1850 – January 21, 1934) was an American osteologist, myologist, museologist and ethnographer who contributed to comparative studies of bird anatomy and forensic science. He considered black people as a problem for America and was a proponent of white supremacy and scientific racism. A scandal and subsequent divorce from his second wife, the granddaughter of the famous ornithologist John James Audubon, who he ostensibly "studied" as an example of a mulatto, led to a landmark judgment by the Supreme Court of the United States of America on the subject of alimony and bankruptcy.
