Essentially, modern human genetics was basically invented by these three, and they came up with the statistical methods that are so fundamental in the life sciences. This book is about the history of eugenics and of course this involves Francis Galton, Karl Pearson, and Ronald Fisher. ![]() I am a scientist and my fields of research are in genetics (genomics) and anthropology. ![]() ![]() ![]() Full disclosure: I am friends with the author so I am a little biased. ![]()
