Pascal, Bernoulli | studied affairs of state, vital statistics of populations studied probability through games of chance, gambling | 18th Century | Laplace, Gauss | normal curve, regression through study of astronomy | 19th Century | Quetelet

Fisher | studied natural selection using correlation, formed first academic department of statistics, Biometrika journal, helped develop the Chi Square analysisstudied process of brewing, alerted the statistics community about problems with small sample sizes, developed Student's testevolutionary biologists - developed ANOVA, stressed the importance of experimental design | 20th Century (later) | Wilcoxon

Historical Note
Since much interest has been evinced in the historical origin of the statistical theory underlying the methods of this book, and as some misapprehensions have occasionally gained
