description: "Robert Wilson Shufeldt Jr. 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."
