Biometrika is a scientific journal established in 1901 by the British statistician Francis Galton and his protégé Karl Pearson concerning biometrics; statistical analysis of hereditary phenomena.
In its early days, it was particularly concerned with elucidating the details of human heredity so that eugenics could be performed, though it was gradually realised that heredity was vastly more complicated than at first thought. Pearson founded the Annals of Eugenics (now the Annals of Human Genetics) in 1925.
