Société d'anthropologie de Paris

The Société d'anthropologie de Paris (SAP; “Paris Society for Anthropology”) was founded in Paris in 1859 by Paul Broca (1824–1880) in association with other scientifically important men . Its goals include research into the natural history of man, ie the origin and biological diversity of the human species. Broca was its general secretary until his death. The example of society was soon followed by other societies of this kind in the other capitals of Europe.
