Why Is Horace Barlow Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Horace Basil Barlow FRS was a British vision scientist. Early life Barlow was the son of the civil servant Sir Alan Barlow and his wife Lady Nora. Barlow was the great-grandson of Charles Darwin and thus part of the Darwin — Wedgwood family.
