Francis Galton (1822-1911), a cousin of evolutionary scientist Charles Darwin, was the driving force behind the eugenics movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Trained as a mathematician at Cambridge University, Galton founded modern statistics and fingerprint analysis, and pioneered the use of composite photography.
