Albert Galloway Keller

Albert Galloway Keller was an American sociologist, author, and prominent student and colleague of William Graham Sumner at Yale University. He was one of the foremost sociologists of his era, known for applying Darwinian evolutionary principles to social evolution in his major work Societal Evolution (1915) and co-authoring the four-volume Science of Society (1927) based on Sumner's notes. Largely forgotten today, his sociology emphasized social variables alongside Progressive Era interests in heredity and biological quality.
