Nicholas Michael Landon Wade (born 17 May 1942[1]) is a British author and journalist.[2] He is the author of numerous books, and has served as staff writer and editor for Nature, Science, and the science section of The New York Times.[3][4]

His 2014 book A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History was widely denounced by the scientific community for misrepresenting research into human population genetics.[5][6][7]

In May 2021, Wade published an article in support of the COVID-19 lab leak hypothesis,[8] contrary to the prevailing scientific view,[9][10][11][12] and fueling controversy on the origins of the virus.[13]
