Reginald Ruggles Gates (May 1, 1882 – August 12, 1962), was a Canadian born anthropologist, botanist, and geneticist. He did most of his work in the United Kingdom and the United States. <br />Reginald Ruggles Gates was born on May 1, 1882 near Middleton, Nova Scotia. He had a twin sister named Charlotte.[2]<br />Gates received his Bachelor of Science from McGill University with further education in Chicago and London.<br />Gates did botanical work in Missouri in 1910. Later, he was a Professor of Biology at King's College London.[5] He was known for his studies of Oenothera and other plants.[6]<br />Gates was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1931.[1][2] His nomination reads<br />“ Professor Gates enjoys a widespread reputation as a distinguished investigator of cytological problems and especially in connection with genetics. He has thrown much light on the behaviour of Olnothera, which formed the basis of De Vries well-known theory of mutations. He has trained a number of cytological students, some of whom now fill posts of importance. He is the author of over 100 papers and memoirs, some of which have been published by the Royal Society. Latterly he has paid attention to genetical anthropology and is the author of several books on this subject.[7] ” <br />Additionally, Gates was a eugenicist. In 1923, he wrote Heredity and Eugenics. He maintained his ideas on race and eugenics long after World War II, into the era when these were deemed anachronistic.[8] He was a founder of Mankind Quarterly and the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics.[5] He was a strong opponent of interracial marriage and, according to A.S. Winston, "argued that races were separate species."<br />In 1911, Gates married Marie Stopes, but the marriage was annulled in 1914. In 1955, he married Laura Greer.<br />Gates died on August 12, 1962. He is memorialized by the Ruggles Gates Award at Mount Allison University<br />
