Lancelot Thomas Hogben (1895-1975) was a British experimental zoologist and medical statistician. He developed the African clawed frog as a model organism for biological research in his early career, attacked the eugenics movement and popularised books on science, mathematics and language. During the Second World War he had responsibility for the British Army’s medical statistics. Two of his books were bestsellers: Mathematics for the Million and Science for the Citizen.
