The EES and the Galton institute were different things, the Galton Institute was affiliated to UCL in the early C19, and is not a recently renamed version of the EES. They need separate articles. I will fix this soon but not tonight. Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 22:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This book is in part a history of the Eugenics Society written by a historian who appears to disagree - see its Preface: ".. the society itself has changed its name to the Galton Institute." Qwfp (talk) 20:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And if you check the Galton Institute web site, they say "The Galton Institute derives from the Eugenics Education Society which was founded in 1907" and states that the institute was founded in 1989. Thomas Blomberg (talk) 14:58, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think the original commenter may be confusing the Galton Institute with the Galton Laboratory at UCL, which was originally endowed by Francis Galton for research into genetics and statistics. It continued as a named unit at UCL at least until 2013, though it may now have been subsumed into a wider department. It never had any formal connection with the EES, and in fact the early head of the Laboratory (Karl Pearson) was quite hostile to the EES. The EES was at some point renamed simply the Eugenics Society, and much later as the Galton Institute.86.132.140.244 (talk) 21:15, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed The Adelphi Genetics Forum[edit]

Just a note to say The Galton Institute was renamed in 2021. I'm an inexperienced editor but when I've the time I'm happy to try and edit the page if no one else has. Dontgiveupthedayjob (talk) 12:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
