Project Camelot was a social science research project funded by the United States Army in the 1960s that aimed to study the causes of social revolution and develop methods for predicting and influencing social change. It sparked significant controversy and debate within the academic community, particularly among anthropologists, about the ethics of using social science research for military purposes. This debate is considered the beginning of the modern era for anthropological ethics, leading to more stringent ethical guidelines for research in the social sciences.
