Redcliffe Nathan Salaman (12 September 1874 – 12 June 1955) was a British physician, biologist who pioneered the breeding of blight-free potatoes, Jewish nationalist, race scientist and key figure in the Anglo-Jewish community in the 20th century.[2][3] His groundbreaking 1949 book The History and Social Influence of the Potato established the history of nutrients as a new literary genre.[4]
