Galton had a somewhat directionless youth. Born into a family too wealthy to require him to work he took a gentlemanly rather than a professional interest in science and failed to graduate from Cambridge. In the 1850's he spent some time travelling in Africa and then proceeded to write books on his experiences including The Art of Travel , a handbook of practical advice for the Victorian on the move. The event that changed his life and gave him a direction was the publication by his cousin Charles of

He was advised at a young age by Charles Darwin that he ought to "read Mathematics like a house on fire," and was very much influenced by Darwin's ideas of natural selection when they came into print. His inquiries into the mind involved detailed recording of subjects' own explanations for whether and how their minds dealt with things such as mental imagery. Galton's 1869 work, '' Hereditary Genius '', popularised historiometry and also formed the beginning of his thoughts on eugenics and heredity . In statistics , Galton was the first to describe and explain the common phenomenon of regression toward the mean in the and .

Endnotes STATISTICAL INQUIRIES INTO THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER FROM THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW. AN eminent authority has recently published a challenge to test the efficacy of prayer by actual experiment. I have been induced, through reading this, to prepare the following memoir for publication nearly the whole of which I wrote and laid by many years ago, after completing a large collection of data, which I had undertaken for the satisfaction of my own conscience. The efficacy of prayer seems to me a simple, as it is a perfectly appropriate and legitimate subject of scientific inquiry. Whether prayer is efficacious or not, in any given sense, is a matter of fact on which each man must form an opinion for himself. His decision will lie based upon data more or less justly handled, according to his education and habits. An unscientific reasoner will be guided by a confused recollection of crude experience. A scientific reasoner will scrutinise each separate experience before he admits it as evidence, and will compare all the cases he has selected on a methodical system. The doctrine commonly preached by the clergy is well expressed in the most recent, and by far the most temperate and learned of theological encyclopedias, namely

Fighting for the Good Cause: Reflections on Francis Galton’s Legacy to American Hereditarian Psychology Gerald Sweeney American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia: 2001 ISBN 0-87169-912-5 Reviewed by Gavan Tredoux October 2002 http://galton.org Books, or even booklets, on the Victorian polymath Francis Galton don’t come out very often.  Nicholas Gillham produced only the third full-length biography in English, in November of 2001 [Gillham  2001], 25 years or so after the last one by Derrick Forrest [Forrest  1974].  Before that you have to go back to Karl Pearson’s magisterial three volume The Life, Letters and Labours of Francis Galton [Pearson  1914, 1924, 1930].  So, in a sense, one should be grateful that some attention is being paid to Galton. Unfortunately Sweeney has a thoroughly political agenda.  Like postmodernist literary criticism, the result is an unintentionally ironical incarnation of all the faults attributed to the subject.  Postmodernists complain about the “prison house of language”, but their own prose is impenetrable and might easily be mistaken for nonsense.   Though Sweeney expends chapters on the supposed political nature of Galton’s work on mental ability and heredity, the political agenda is transparently all his own.  The principal fault he attributes to Galton – carelessness bordering on fraud – is on full display in his own work.  Where his argument contains substantial points, elementary cross-checking refutes them. The argument is not nuanced: that Galton failed abjectly to demonstrate that ability is hereditary; that his interest in heredity was driven by ideology and the expectations of his family that he himself should become a genius like his grandfather Erasmus Darwin; and that American psychologists were politically predisposed to believe a transparently weak argument.  Others might prefer the simpler explanation: that Galton was unusually gifted; that he was persuaded by the evidence gathered by his own pioneering research programme; and that American psychologists were influenced by his example because it opened genuinely fruitful areas of inquiry.

Francis Galton Born: 16 Feb 1822 in Sparkbrook (near Birmingham), England Died: 17 Jan 1911 in Grayshott House, Haslemere, Surrey, England Click the picture above to see four larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing An explorer and anthropologist, Francis Galton is known for his pioneering studies of human intelligence. He devoted the latter part of his life to eugenics, i.e. improving the physical and mental makeup of the human species by selected parenthood. Galton's parents, both from important Quaker families, might have served as excellent examples of his ideas on hereditary genius. His mother, Frances Anne Violetta Darwin, was the daughter of the physician Erasmus Darwin, the author of Zoonomia or the Laws of Organic Life, in which he set out his ideas of evolution. Charles Darwin was also a grandson of Erasmus Darwin. Galton's father, Samuel Tertius Galton, was a banker from a family which contained many rich bankers and gunsmiths. Francis was youngest of his parents seven children having three older brothers and three older sisters. Francis attended a number of small schools in the Birmingham area before entering King Edward's School in Birmingham in 1836. He spent two years at this school but did not find the emphasis on classics and religion to his liking. Since his parents had decided that he should follow a medical career, he was an apprentice to several different medical men in Birmingham for around a year. Following this he went to London where he studied medicine at King's College for one year. Then, in 1840, he made a quick tour of the Continent visiting Giessen, Vienna, Constanza, Constantinople, Smyrna, and Athens. It was at this stage that, in his own words, (see [6]):-

This was similar to an earlier idea put forward by Cros in France. It stimulated a lively debate in England on (a) the likelihood of there being intelligent life on Mars and other neighboring worlds (including the Moon), and (b) the merits of trying to send signals.
