Royal Anthropological Society of Australasia

The Royal Anthropological Society of Australasia was established in 1885 as the Anthropological Society of Australasia by the Australian physician Alan Carroll. The prefix 'Royal' was added in 1901. The society published the journal Science of Man.

According to a 2003 article published by the National Library of Australia, the society is "nowadays seen as forming part of the ‘lunatic fringe’."
