6Author:  Galton, Francis, 1822-1911
 Explorer, independent scientific writer and scholar, founder of eugenics. Galton was an important participant in the councils of 19th-century British science, and his writings on the inheritance of intellectual skills influenced many human biologists and physical anthropologists. In particular, Galton's researches into the comparative roles of human nature and nurture in shaping social behavior and achievement led to the founding of the eugenics movement.
