Sir Francis Galton, the answer to the question, is widely regarded as the father of Eugenics, a controversial concept focusing on the improvement of the human race. Galton's theories had a profound influence on Karl Pearson, who became a prominent advocate and further developed Galton's ideas, including the concept of a'normal distribution curve.'
