The Anthropological Society of London

The Anthropological Society of London, founded in 1863, was a group dedicated to studying humanity's diversity, culture, and societies through an anthropological lens. It aimed to share knowledge on human behavior, customs, and evolution. The society fostered discussions and research in anthropology, helping establish it as a formal academic discipline. It also played a key role in collecting and preserving information about indigenous cultures, shaping the study of human societies. The society merged with other organizations over time, contributing to the development of modern anthropology in the United Kingdom and beyond.
