His father was Samuel Tertius Galton , son of Samuel "John" Galton . 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. Portrait of Galton by Octavius Oakley 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.

He turned from exploration and meteorology (where he introduced the theory of the anticyclone ) to the study of heredity and eugenics (a term that he coined). Galton devised the correlation coefficient and brought other statistical methods into this work, which was carried on by his pupil Karl Pearson as the science of biometrics. In his Hereditary Genius (1869) he presented strong evidence that talent is an inherited characteristic. Galton established a system of classifying fingerprints that is still used today. He was knighted in 1909. The best known of his books is Inquiries into Human Faculty Bibliography See his Memories of My Life (1908, repr. 1974); biographies by K. Pearson (3 vol. in 4, 1914–30), N.

    Extractions: "Every long-established race has necessarily its peculiar fitness for the conditions under which it has lived, owing to the sure operation of Darwin's law of natural selection." English social scientist, an outspoken hereditarian and selectionist and (alone with his disciple Karl Pearson ) a founder of biometrics. Galton conducted extensive statistical studies of heredity in humans, including the first major twin study (1883). A virulent racist, he popularized the phrase "nature and nurture" from 1874 onward specifically so he could downplay the latter. He also coined the term "eugenics" (1883) and essentially founded the eugenics movement with arguments going back to 1865, although his ideas did not gain wide acceptance until the turn of the century, spurred on by the rediscovery of Mendel 's laws of inheritance. A first cousin of Darwin and a witness of the famous Huxley -Wilberforce debate of 1860, he was a staunch supporter of natural selection even at its lowest, late 19th-century ebb. Ironically, he argued that selection on minor variations was too weak to produce long-term evolutionary changes, which instead were due to occasional saltations. Despite having read Galton's 1869 book, Darwin himself still took a dim view of the influence of heredity on human behavior in his The Descent of Man (1871). As a member of

After attending King Edward VI's grammar school, Birmingham, he studied at Birmingham hospital, and afterwards at King's College, London, with the intention of making medicine his profession; but after taking his degree at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1843 he changed his mind. The years 1845-46 he spent in travelling in the Sudan, and in 1850 he made an exploration, with Dr. John Anderson, of Damaraland and the Ovarnpo country in southwest Africa, starting from Walfisch Bay. These tracts had practically never been traversed before, and on the appearance of the published account of his journey and experiences under the title of Narrative of an Explorer in Tropical South Africa (1853) Galton was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society.

    Extractions: Francis Galton (1822-1911) offers a statistical approach to understanding inheritance. Soon after publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, Francis Galton undertook studies of how various traits might be transmitted from parent to offspring. His early experiments, in which he injected rabbits with blood drawn from other rabbits of different colored coats, tested a speculative theory known as "pangenesis." As Galton soon realized, that theory—in which particles in the blood were thought to carry hereditary information—was incorrect. However, a statistical approach to heredity was both plausible and promising. Employing impressionistic data about talented individuals and their families, Galton proposed the "law of ancestral inheritance" in 1876. Revised several times over the next two decades, Galton's basic conception was that, on average, each parent provides offspring with one quarter of inherited traits, while grandparents contribute the rest. Francis Galton The "law of ancestral heredity," as it turned out, was mistaken. Although he was interested in individual variations, Galton's mathematical methods treated them as "errors." In Gregor Mendel's more carefully conceived experiments with culinary peas, variations represented the expression of discrete alternative factors or (as we would say today) genes. Galton, in his personal correspondence with Darwin, came close to this conception, but never proceeded to a testable formulation.
