Sykes had a minor film role in another spy comedy The Spy with a Cold Nose ( 1966 ), written by Galton and Simpson.

They did not, and Galton declared that he had disproved Darwin's hypothesis of Pangenesis, but Darwin objected, in a letter to Nature, that he had done nothing of the sort, since he had never mentioned blood in his writings.

) As a child she had met the founder of the Eugenics movement, Francis Galton, both through the British Association for the Advancement of Science and socially through her father.

The mystery plays which had preceded the original Young Vic productions were dropped, and instead the musical was preceded by a piece called Jacob's Journey, with music and lyrics by Lloyd Webber and Rice and a book by television comedy writers Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.

The playlet " Look Back in Hunger " ( spoofing John Osborne's Look Back in Anger ) in the episode " The East Cheam Drama Festival " from the fifth series, showed that writers Galton and Simpson were in touch with developments in the British theatre, in the use of sighs and silent pauses, something Osborne's style had in common with the plays of Harold Pinter, whose work began to emerge towards the end of the series ' run.

Bertillon originally measured variables he thought were independent-such as forearm length and leg length-but Galton had realized that both were the result of a single causal variable ( in this case, stature ) and developed the statistical concept of correlation.

Galton owned of land at Westhay Moor, Somerset, which he had drained, by constructing Galton's Canal.

Even NPL director Sir Charles Galton Darwin, while supporting the work, observed that Essen would get the correct result once he had perfected the technique.

It is similar to Holt Fleet Bridge, Telford's Grade II listed bridge over the River Severn at Holt in Worcestershire and was named after Samuel Galton, a member of the Lunar Society.

* Gavan Tredoux's Francis Galton website, galton. org, contains Pearson's biography of Francis Galton, and several other papers — in addition to nearly all of Galton's own published works.

Darwin continued painfully rewriting his books with the help of Henrietta and George, incorporating ideas from Galton and new anecdotes.

In 1980 Peter Galton renamed Pterodactylus brancai ( Reck 1931 ), a form from a late Jurassic African formation, into Dsungaripterus brancai, but the identification is now commonly rejected.

He was a member of the Darwin – Wedgwood family, which includes his grandsons Charles Darwin and Francis Galton.

The modern field and term were first formulated by Sir Francis Galton in 1883, drawing on the recent work of his half-cousin Charles Darwin.

The assessment of intelligence was initiated by Francis Galton and James McKeen Cattell.

Darwin's initial model of heredity was adopted by, and then heavily modified by, his cousin Francis Galton, who laid the framework for the biometric school of heredity.

Galton rejected the aspects of Darwin's pangenesis model, which relied on acquired traits.

Englishman Francis Galton coined the terms psychometrics and eugenics, and developed a method for measuring intelligence based on nonverbal sensory-motor tests.

Samuel Galton, Jr., unusual as a Quaker who was also a gun-manufacturer, appears in the letters of other Lunar members as attending meetings from July 1781, and his daughter Mary Anne Schimmelpenninck was to provide one of the few first-hand accounts of the Lunar Society's activities.

His findings led him to oppose contemporary Darwinists, most notably Francis Galton and Karl Pearson, who held the occurrence of normal distributed trait variation in populations as proof of gradual genetic variation on which selection could act.
