Francis Galton was Darwin's cousin. Reading the Origin of Species he became convinced of evolution. He believed that “what Nature does blindly, slowly, and ruthlessly, man may do providently, quickly, and kindly.” He was also into statistics and measurement. There is an interesting story of him measuring an African (Khoikhoi) women's impressive derriere without touching her using a sextant from a distance. Women’s beauty consumed him. One of his experiments was to find which place has more beautiful women. Sorta like a 19th century HotORNot. He had two counters in each pocket, one for hot and one for nots. According to his study London had the most attractive women in the UK, Aberdeen the least.
