The Galton Institute

The Galton Institute is a UK-based organization dedicated to promoting the study of genetics, heredity, and their impact on human health and society. Named after Sir Francis Galton, a pioneer in genetics, it brings together scientists, educators, and the public to share knowledge and discuss scientific developments in these fields. The institute organizes events, publishes information, and supports research to deepen understanding of how genetics influence individuals and populations, while also considering ethical and social implications. Its goal is to foster informed dialogue about genetics and its role in medicine, ancestry, and human diversity.
