Gustave Le Bon (1841–1931) was a French polymath known for his work in anthropology, psychology, sociology, medicine, invention, and physics. He's best remembered for his 1895 book The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, a foundational text in crowd psychology that explores how groups influence individual behavior. Born in Nogent-le-Rotrou, he studied medicine in Paris but focused on writing and research, traveling widely after the Franco-Prussian War and Paris Commune shaped his views.
