Corresponding Member of the Imperial Academy of Medicine of France, Foreign Associate of the Anthropological Society of Paris etc FRSE FRCSE MWS<br /><br />See 'The origin of the anthropological review' AR vol. 6, no. 23 (oct 1868): ... Robert Knox was, in the year 1855, proposed an ordinary Fellow of the Society, and black-balled! He was, however, elected in 1858 as an Honorary Fellow, to the horror and indignation of the Quakers<br /><br />1862.06.17 It was resolved that Dr Knox should be appointed Honorary Curator to the Ethnological Society.<br />
=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Robert Knox, FRSE FRCSE MWS (4 September 1791 – 20 December 1862) was a Scottish surgeon, anatomist and zoologist. He was the most popular lecturer in anatomy in Edinburgh before his involvement in the Burke and Hare murders. This ruined his career, and a later move to London did not improve matters. His later pessimistic view of humanity contrasted sharply with his youthful attachment to the ideas of Étienne Geoffroy.
