Galton's Law

Galton's Law, named after the scientist Francis Galton, suggests that the general knowledge of a population tends to be limited by the least knowledgeable members. This means that the overall understanding and intelligence of a group is influenced more by those who know the least, rather than those who know the most. As a result, the average level of knowledge reflects the lowest knowledge levels, which can hinder collective progress and learning. In essence, it highlights the importance of improving the knowledge of all individuals to raise the overall understanding of society.
