Biography
Sir Francis Galton was a self-taught naturalist, anthropologist, astronomer, and statistician--and a real-life Indiana Jones character. He was famous for his explorations, and even wrote a best-selling book on how to survive in the wilderness entitled "The Art of Travel: Shifts and Contrivances Available in Wild Places" (in which he introduced the concept of the sleeping bag to the Western World). Galton was a pioneer in the application of statistical methods to measurements in many branches of science. In studying data on relative sizes of parents and their offspring in various species of plants and animals, he observed the following phenomenon: a larger-than-average parent tends to produce a larger-than-average child, but the child is likely to be less large than the parent in terms of its relative position within its own generation. Galton termed this phenomenon a regression towards mediocrity, known today as regression to the mean. https://people.duke.edu/~rnau/regintro.htm
