Branch of Science Geographers Branch of Science Meteorologists ... Barile Francis Galton (1822-1911) This entry contributed by Margherita Barile English scientist and cousin of Charles Darwin who was the first to apply statistical methods to scientific inquiry. After studying medicine in his hometown Birmingham, in London and in Cambridge, he decided to devote himself to geographic research. He undertook pioneering travels in Africa, the detailed accounts of which were published in 1853 (Egypt, Soudan) and 1891 (South Africa). He was the initiator of scientific meteorology: he invented the weather map, set up the theory of anticyclones and was the first to establish a complete record of short-term climatic phenomena on an European scale. He introduced the use of questionnaires and surveys for collecting data on human communities, which he needed for genealogical and biographical works ( English Men of Science: Their Nature and Nurture , 1874) and for his anthropological studies ( Inquiries into Human Faculty and its Development , 1883). Because of his statements on evolution and hereditary characters of mankind he is nowadays often regarded as a racist.

Statistics are the only tools by which an opening may be cut through the formidable thicket of difficulties that bars the path of those who pursue the Science of Man. ~ Quoted in K Pearson, The Life, Letters and Labours of Francis Galton (London 1914) Born: February 16, 1822 in Sparkbrook, England Died: January, 17 1911 in Grayshott House, England 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. Although weak in mathematics his ideas strongly influenced the development of statistics particularly his proof that a normal mixture of normal distributions is itself normal. Another of his major findings was reversion. This was his formulation of regression and its link to the bivariate normal distribution. He also made important contributions to the fields of meteorology, anthropometry, and physical anthropology. Galton was an indefatigable explorer and an investigator of human intelligence.

Sir Francis Galton His Science In a sense, Sir Francis Galton was a traditional Victorian gentlemen scientist who dabbled in a whole range of fields; yet Galton made an extraordinary impact on almost every area to which he turned his attention. Modern understandings in statistics, genetics, heredity and criminology were shaped by Galton's work. In his earlier years, prompted by expeditions to Africa and the Near East, Galton focussed on meteorology, travel, geography, and communications. He discovered the anti-cyclone, developed modern weather maps, was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Geographical Society, and wrote several books about his travelling experiences. Laterally, and in part prompted by the work of his cousin, Charles Darwin, Galton turned his attention to the study of heredity and identity. His research in these fields, which ultimately led to his coining the term "eugenics", also prompted his numerous discoveries and advances in the areas of statistics, photography, fingerprinting, and anthropometrics. His Life Galton was born to wealthy parents in Birmingham in 1822. The youngest of 9 children, his father was a banker and his mother the daughter of the esteemed doctor Erasmus Darwin - the latter also the grandfather of Charles Darwin.
