Interesting Facts:Fisher had poor eyesight, which made reading difficult; so he learned through listening to others read aloud to him. He started out studying mathematics (and excelling at it) but began to focus on statistics because of his interest in evolutionary theory. After marriage, he became a subsistence farmer. Fisher helped form the Cambridge University Eugenics Society in 1911. He was the father-in-law of George E.P. Box.
