Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, studied the inheritance of many traits in humans. He noticed that children of tall parents were often shorter than their parents and that children of short parents were often taller than their parents. He noted that children of very tall or very short parents are usually closer to the average height of the population rather than the average height of their parents. This important concept is called regression to the mean.
