View full profile →

Edgar Leopold Layard (1824–1900) was a British colonial administrator, naturalist, and early proponent of applying scientific methods to the study of human behaviour. His work, though often overshadowed by his ornithological contributions, demonstrated a keen interest in the psychological and social aspects of life in the colonies, particularly concerning education and the 'native' mind.
