Summary
In this 2018 email, evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers writes to Jeffrey Epstein regarding a document titled 'EPSTEIN.docx'. Trivers vents about his professional alienation in the US and complains extensively about James Watson (JD Watson), claiming Watson blocked his career advancement at Harvard in 1972. The email concludes with Trivers offering a long-prepared paper on 'human intelligence, Africa, parasites' with the stated focus of 'Africans stupid or smart?'

Importance: High
perhaps i misunderstood "let's concentrate on you"
Jamaica is bad enough but i have mastered that—at least the danger—4th highest murder rate in the world
as for the US i have alienated large stretches of it—i will spare you the details
___
i was amused that you are now friends with JD Watson
he single-handedly prevented me from getting a Junior Fellowship at Harvard
In 1972 I got my PhD in Biology and it was conventional to nominate the very best post-docs for a Junior Fellowship, Harvard’s most prestigious award—it provided three years of research support without any duties. I was the best student out of Evolutionary and Organismic Biology in more than 20 years. The entire department was behind me.
but Watson was on the 3-man committee, in charge of all the science candidates and he deemed my two papers, reciprocal altruism and parental investment and sexual selection as “not being science” and dismissed me in one sentence. Well bless his soul, he now does not even understand his own subject—yes, i speak of genetics—because having remained resolutely ignorant of evolutionary logic and biology he can neither understand the shape and form of the genotype nor how it differs systematically within life
___
i have been preparing something for you for a long time on human intelligence, Africa, parasites etc because i prefer to get things right but i am ready to send you what i have
main focus is—Africans stupid or smart?
