Lajos Méhelÿ

Lajos Méhelÿ (August 24, 1862 – February 4, 1953) was a Hungarian zoologist, herpetologist, professor, and author. He remains controversial due to his Social Darwinist and racialist publications. He was a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, but renounced his membership.

Besides his zoological work, he increasingly dedicated his life to Hungarian racial theory and Turanism. As a result, he was imprisoned after the Second World War until his death in old age. Provided by Wikipedia
