Karl Pearson was a prominent English eugenicist, mathematician, and biostatistician who played a significant role in establishing mathematical statistics as a distinct discipline. He established the first university statistics department at University College London and made notable contributions to biometrics and meteorology. Pearson supported Social Darwinism and eugenics, sharing beliefs in scientific racism. He collaborated closely with Sir Francis Galton, finalizing important works in mathematics and science following the passing of key figures in the field.
