		Galton was by many accounts a child prodigy--he was reading by the age of 2, at age 5 he knew some Greek, Latin and long division, and by the age of six he had moved on to adult books, including Shakespeare for pleasure, and poetry, which he quoted at length.
		Galton was interested at first in the question of whether human ability was indeed hereditary, and proposed to count the number of the relatives of various degrees of eminent men.
		Galton invented the use of the regression line, and was the first to describe and explain the common phenomenon of regression toward the mean, which he first observed in his experiments on the size of the seeds of successive generations of sweet peas.

		Sir Francis Galton (February 16, 1822 – January 17, 1911), inventor, explorer, statistician, anthropologist, a pioneer in eugenics, investigator of the human mind, and the founder of the science of measuring mental faculties: psychometrics.
		Galton would be the perfect exemplar of the batty Victorian scientist were it not for the, to modern eyes, rather sinister conclusions he drew from his cousin's work.
		Galton wrote about the technique (inadvertently sparking a controversy between Herschel and Faulds that was to last until 1917), identifying common pattern in fingerprints and devising a classification system that survives to this day.

		Francis' great-great-grandfather John Galton (1671-1743) had joined the Quakers in the early 1700s, on his marriage into the Quaker Button family, and the Galtons were Quakers until Francis' father Samuel Tertius Galton (1783-1844) converted to the Church of England in 1807.
		Samuel Galton (the elder) had entered into the gun business, in partnership with the Farmer family, and had ultimately bought out the Farmers, who had nearly been ruined by the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
		In the 1790s Samuel "John" got involved into a heated dispute with the Quakers over the family gun business, when the Quakers decided that this was in conflict with their principles, and expelled him; undaunted, he published a spirited defense and continued to attend their meetings anyway.

	"racial purity"
		Galton's basic argument was that "genius" and "talent" were hereditary traits in humans (though neither he nor Darwin had yet a working model of this type of heredity), and that just as one could use artificial selection to exaggerate traits in animals, one could expect similar results applying such models to humans.
		Galton's formulation of eugenics, the term he coined for the philosophy in 1883, and was based in a strong statistical approach, influenced heavily by Adolphe Quetelet's "social physics." Unlike Quetelet, however, Galton did not exhalt the "average man," but decried him as mediocre.
		Galton and his statistical heir, Karl Pearson, developed what was known as the biometrical approach to eugenics, which developed new and complex statistical models (later exported to wholly different fields) to describe the heredity of traits.

		Galton himself has gained the reputation of having been a "genius." The main source of this reputation was a 1917 paper by the psychologist Lewis Terman, who examined some evidence from Galton's childhood and concluded that young Galton routinely performed intellectual tasks at about half the age at which normal children first learn them.
		Galton's reputation as a genius, combined with his own distinguished pedigree, has led to a common impression that his general theory of hereditary genius was at least in part a vehicle for self-serving vanity.
		Galton did well enough in the first year's preliminary examinations to keep his hopes alive, and at the beginning of his second year was accepted for private study by William Hopkins, Cambridge's most famous "coach" of mathematics students.
