Francis Galton

GALTON, FRANCIS (1822-1911) If any figure in the history of the behavioral sciences can be characterized as an original genius, it is Sir Francis Galton. He never held an academic appointment, yet he is rightfully claimed to be the founding father of differential psychology, of psychometrics, and of behavioral genetics. His creative efforts presaged almostall of the major theoretical issues under investigation in these fields in the twentieth century. Few scientists have had such wide-ranging andlasting impact.
