  Anthropological Society of London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Anthropological Society of London was founded in 1863 by Richard Francis Burton and Dr. James Hunt.
It broke away from the existing Ethnological Society of London, founded in 1842, and defined itself in opposition to the older society.
The Anthropological Society, Hunt proclaimed, would concern itself with the collection of facts and the identification of natural laws that explained the diversity of humankind.

 Ethnological Society of London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ethnological Society of London was founded in 1843 by a breakaway faction of the Aborigines' Protection Society (APS).
The society's original members were primarily military officers, civil servants, and members of the clergy, but by the early 1860s career scientists in their 20's and 30's had supplanted them.
The Anthropological Society of London was founded, in 1863, as an institutional home for those who found the Ethnological's politics difficult to stomach.

 Chronology of Scholarly Societies: 1840-1849
Scudder #465, the Syro-Egyptian Society of London was merged into the Society of Biblical Archaeology (which was founded on 1870, December 9, according to AnyDay-in-History: December 09).
It seems clear, therefore that the Syro-Egyptian Society of London survived until at least 1870, and that the merger with the Society of Biblical Archaeology occurred in 1870 or somewhat later.
Exactly a century later, on December 28, 1959, it was resuscitated with the approval of the parent society in London - the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

 Comments on Phrenology, by Alfred Russel Wallace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Editor Charles H. Smith's Note: A third-person account of comments Wallace made at the 18 June 1867 meeting of the Anthropological Society of London on a paper by James Hunt entitled "On Physio-anthropology, Its Aim and Method," read two weeks earlier at the previous meeting of the Society.
It was a great subject, and should be taken up by that Society on a large scale, so as to extend observation from individual cases to whole races of mankind, which the Society, with the aid of its many corresponding members in all parts of the world, were in a condition to do.
What was wanted was the accurate determination both of the mental characteristics and the form of the skull of different races, and a systematic comparison of these data, so as to connect the one set of facts with the other.

 Jamaica, Genealogy, George Eliot: Inheriting the Empire After Morant Bay
The political goals of the Anthropological Society were thus explicit from the start: the society claimed the mantle of science in an overt rejection of an older discipline linked to the antislavery movement.
The Ethnological Society from which Hunt and his followers felt compelled to distance themselves had been founded back in the 1840s as an offshoot of the Aborigines Protection Society, one of the abolitionist and philanthropic organizations that formed the backbone of middle-class dissenting culture from the late eighteenth century onwards.
James Hunt, who modelled the Anthropological Society of London on Broca's Société anthropologique de Paris, argued torturously that it was not yet proven that "the offspring of all the mixtures of the so-called races of man are prolific.

 Anniversary Address of the President of the Ethnological Society (1870)
The Geological Society is an instance of the good effect of the union of different branches of one large science.
A Meeting of the Council of the Ethnological Society was held on the 9th of June, having been summoned as soon as I knew that the propositions, as amended, had been agreed to by the Council of the Anthropological Society.
The Anthropological Society is only one of several Societies, the spheres of activity of which all more or less coincide with those of the Ethnological Society.

In 1941, the Society for Applied Anthropology was established by anthropologists including Margaret Mead, Eliot Chapple, and Fred Richardson in response to "growing academic bias" within the American Anthropological Association (AAA) (Fiske and Chambers 1997: 283).
Quality of archaeological work was a pressing concern of the time, which led to the founding of the Society of Professional Archaeologists (SOPA) and the establishment of official criteria for trained archaeological professionals in both the public and private sector in areas such as cultural resource management (Fiske and Chambers 1997: 286).
SOPA, the Society of Professional Anthropologists was established in Tucson as the first local practitioner organization (LPO) in 1974 (van Willigen 1993:35; Fiske and Chambers 1997: 285).

 August 17, 1997
In 1864, Alfred Russel Wallace, co-author of the theory of evolution, proposed to an audience at the Anthropological Society of London that our apelike ancestors spread throughout the world and became adapted to their various local conditions.
Christopher Stringer, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, with the help of Robin McKie, a science writer, argues for a theory that has come to be called ''out of Africa''; and he opposes it to the contemporary ''multiregionalist'' view, a descendant of the ideas of Wallace, Haeckel and Coon.
Stringer marshals considerable paleontological, anthropological and genetic evidence for his position -- for instance, the genetic differences within each race are much larger than the average differences among the races, suggesting very close biological relationship.

 ON CIVILIZATION, MORAL AND MATERIAL
As a translation of Professor Waitz's valuable work on Anthropology was published in London in 1863, and Sir John Lubbock's essay was written in 1867, I cannot account for his ignoring such writing as this, and such an author, and choosing a work of Dr. Whately's to which to reply.
After the relaxation of the primitive law of God among the Jews, and the corruption of their morals, the burden of the old prophets was a constant cry against impurity, and the re-proclamation of the original sanctity of marriage, based upon the same high theory of its being a perfect union or oneness.
