John Graunt, recognized as the pioneer of demography, was a groundbreaking figure in the field of statistics and public health. Despite his initial profession as a haberdasher, he made notable contributions that laid the groundwork for modern demographic studies. Graunt’s work as an early epidemiologist significantly influenced the understanding of population dynamics and health trends. He faced financial challenges later in life due to losses suffered during the Great Fire of London and encountered discrimination after converting to Catholicism.
