Life
Education
Dutton was educated at Durham University where he graduated in Theology in 2002. He was awarded a doctoral degree (PhD) from the Divinity and Religious Studies Department at the University of Aberdeen in 2005.[2] The thesis was an anthropological analysis.
Career
While at Aberdeen University Dutton edited Anthropology and Theology by the Rev'd Professor Douglas Davies.
In 2012 Dutton broadened his academic research from Religious Studies and cultural anthropology, to evolutionary psychology. The choice between post-modern anthropology and evolutionary anthropology was termed “Dutton’s Dilemma” in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
From 2011 - 2019 he was appointed Docent (translated as “Adjunct Professor” or “Adjunct Reader” - a qualification above PhD) of the Anthropology of Religion and Finnish Culture at Oulu University in Finland. It has been reported that Professor Dutton was asked to resign from Oulu University, despite his excellent eight-year record with them, after the publication of Dutton's book on race differences, after they adopted an "anti-racist" platform[3], stating he did not share their "values".[4] However, on his website, Dutton adds that "in early 2020, Oulu University memory-holed me from their list of docents published on their website, seemingly due to my book The Silent Rape Epidemic: How the Finns Were Groomed to Love Their Abusers."[5]
Dutton has been a researcher at Leiden University in the Netherlands, and Umea University in Sweden, and has been an academic consultant at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia.
In 2021, he was appointed research associate in the Deanship of Scientific Research at Tabuk University in Saudi Arabia.
In 2023, he was made Honorary Professor in the Institute of Psychology at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
He was the first to set out all the evidence for IQ decline across Europe and his research has been reported in newspapers worldwide.
On the 19th October 2019, and again on 8th October 2022, he addressed the Annual Conference of the Traditional Britain Group in London, where he was given a standing ovation.
Other
Edward Dutton is married to a Finn and has two children.
He was a member of the UK Conservative Party in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In livestreams he has mentioned having still been an activist for the Conservatives during the 2001 United Kingdom General Election. He left the Party around the time when David Cameron became leader. In his book Spiteful Mutants Dutton mentions his "regret" for formerly supporting the Conservative Party.
He has been attacked by the Communist "anti-fascist" group Hope Not Hate whose boss Nick Lowles described Dutton as a "pseudo-scientific race scientist" with "extreme and offensive opinions". What Lowles' academic qualifications are for making this statement are unknown.
Dutton is an active genealogist; and also operates a blog entitled The Jolly Heretic[6]

What others have said
"Edward Dutton's book, Making Sense of Race, is a godsend at a time when the university curriculum effectively censors human nature from much of the humanities and social sciences. This information, which comes wrapped in prodigious layers of data, is presented in a highly accessible style. It should be required reading for all students of anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and politics. Those thirsting for knowledge about race - an inescapable and ever more destabilizing feature of our globalizing world - should dip into this book of new facts about human bio-diversity. It is a riveting read." ~ Dr. Frank Salter, The Max Planck Society, author of On Genetic Interests: Family, Ethnicity, and Humanity in an Age of Mass Migration.
"Dutton is a brilliant young researcher who has published some excellent works, must-reads for anyone who wants to understand the reasons behind the apparent suicide of the European peoples." ~ Professor Richard Lynn.
"Edward Dutton has provided a thorough review of the psychometric literature on ethnocentrism. I highly recommend his work. ~ Professor Kevin MacDonald.
"Starting from Roald Dahl's warning that real witches look like ordinary women, wearing ordinary clothes and working in ordinary jobs, Edward Dutton dissects the stereotypical witch into her biological, evolutionary, psychological, social, and demographic components. He then proceeds to show us that real witches are concealed among the feminists - there displaying modern equivalents of characteristically witch-like motivations, attitudes, and behaviours. Witches, Feminism and the Fall of the West is a fusillade of detailed scholarship." ~ Dr. Bruce Charlton, Newcastle University and the University of Buckingham.
"A stimulating, provocative and in-depth treatise, The Past is a Future Country is an exciting, shocking and thought-provoking book about a possible future for all of us. For all who are able to think outside the box." ~ Professor Heiner Rindermann, Technical University of Chemnitz, Germany.
"In every age there are a few with the courage to write freely. It is rare that they also have a great sense of humour, but in Professor Dutton we have the whole package." ~ Dr. Mike McCulloch, University of Plymouth.
"Breeding the Human Herd etc., is an excellent book which tells you all you need to know about the crucial, but absurdly taboo, subjects of dysgenics and eugenics.” ~ Professor Richard Lynn, author of Eugenics: A Reassessment and Dysgenics: Genetic Deterioration in Modern Populations.
