As Adam Smith is a footnote to Hume, Francis Galton (1822-1911) is a footnote to Darwin. Galton half-cousin of Darwin promulgated eugenics, the genetics of man that even included the inheritance of morality. His statistical contributions to anthropometry were classic. See Karl Pearson, 1911, Nature 85 (1911 Feb 2) 440–445. |
