Family Likeness in Stature
In this document It writtenby Francis Galton in 1886, he tried to found out that the average height of children born of parents of a given height tended to move or regress toward the average height in the population as awhole.
The purpose of the this investigation was to express by formula the relation that subsists between the statures of specified men and those of their kinsmen in any given degree, and to explain theprocesses through which family peculiarities of stature gradually diminish, until in every remote degree of kinship the group of kinsmen becomes undistinguishable from a group selected out of thegeneral population in a random way.
Stature was the subject of the investigation but the formulas that were used are applicable to every one-dimensioned faculty that all men possess in some degree,but that different men possess in different degrees.
It is an axiom of statistics that large samples taken out of the same population at random are statistically similar, and in such inquiries asthese which do not aim at minute accuracy, they may be considered identical. Thus the statures in every group, say of 1000 male adults, when distributed in order of their magnitudes at equal distancesapart and in a row, will form almost
identical figures; it being only towards either end of the long row that irregularities will begin to show themselves. These were unimportant in the investigationand they were eliminated.
Throughout the investigation it was noted that is a universal rule that the unknown kinsman in any degree of any specified man is probably more mediocre than he. Let therelationship be what it may, it is safe to wager that the unknown kinds-man of a person whose stature is 681 + x3 inches, is of some height 681 + x' inches, where r' is less than a.
