The Ethnological Society of London was founded in 1843 by a breakaway faction of the Aborigines Protection Society APS . It quickly became one of England s leading scientific societies, and a meeting place not only for students of ethnology but also for archaeologist s interested in prehistoric societies. The society s meetings and journal served as a forum for sharing new ideas, and as a clearinghouse for ethnological data. 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 20s and 30s had supplanted them. Thomas Henry Huxley , Augustus Pitt Rivers , Edward Tylor , Henry Christy , John Lubbock, 1st Baron Avebury John Lubbock , and Augustus Wollaston Franks all figured prominently in the society s affairs after 1860. The APS was founded by Quakers in order to promote a specific social and political agenda. The Ethnological Society, though primarily a scientific organization, retained some of its predecessor s liberal outlook and activist bent. The Ethnologicals generally supported Charles Darwin against his critics, championed efforts to abolish slavery, and rejected the more extreme forms of scientific racism. The Anthropological Society of London was founded in 1863 as an institutional home for those who disagreed with the Ethnological Society s politics. The two societies co existed warily for several years, but merged in 1871 into the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland Royal Anthropological Institute . The Journal of the Ethnological Society of London was published in the years 1848 1856. It then was published under the title, Transactions of the Ethnological Society of London from 1861 1869 it was re named and published, from 1869 1870, to Journal of the Ethnological Society of London http www.lib.uchicago.edu e su anthro antelect.html .
