Galton Laboratory

The Galton Laboratory, located at University College London, was established in 1949 for the study of human genetics and evolution. Named after Sir Francis Galton, a pioneer in heredity research, it has contributed significantly to understanding how traits are inherited and how humans have evolved. The laboratory conducts scientific research, educates students, and collaborates on projects related to genetics, psychology, and anthropology. Its work helps us better understand biological influences on human behavior and development, advancing knowledge in fields like genetics and human evolution.
