In science, Francis Galton (1822-1911) was an English anthropologist, half-cousin to Engish naturalist Charles Darwin, noted for being in the small group of individuals with a 200+ IQ and for having dialogue, in 1879, with Scottish physicist James Maxwell on the topic of free will and for his interest in hearing Irish physicist William Thomson’s lecture on Maxwell’s demon at the Royal Institute, and likely later commentary on the matter.

It has to noted of course that this IQ-score is based on an estimate of what it would be and it is not based on scores on special high-range tests. IQ-tests where not even developed yet back then.

Brunn/Atlantid While I think he is Certainly a Very Intelligent Man. I don't agree with the 200 IQ Estimate. Da Vinci and Goethe maybe. Galton was not a PolyMath.

Note here in this picture, his profile is slightly prognathic. How common is that among Europeans? I've seen a few CM, Alpines and Dinarics showing such feature. Oliver Kahn for example.

Prognathic as in pointed/positive chin? Yes, indeed, he appears so. Protuding mental chin is a CM trait. Very dolicholeptomorphic/asthenic Nordids often have a tendency to retrognathism and receding chins (Neanderthal remnant.) Orthognaty is the ideal.
However, you must not confuse this type of prognathy with the type Negrids have wich is alveolar.

As for the guy, largely Alpine with some Dinarid.

Indeed the European prognathic individuals have a different kind of prognathism, which I have noticed for some time. Thing is, most only have the chin and lower jaw protruding, whereas others, such as Galton, have both jaws protruding (there's a straight line from the nasal sill to the chin, unlike the negroid where jaws protrude, but chin is recessive). This isn't very common, although common enough to be noticed with some frequency.

It's very mild, and probably has to do with age and of course, Dinarid influences. But yes, I do see it too.
