Why are some people so much better than everyone else in a given field?

What makes a Usain Bolt or Steve Jobs so successful? Is it nature or nurture? Outliers by Malcom Gladwell seeks to answer these question.

An Outlier is an anomoly.

Most people think of the average as the mean. But most science (at least social science) tracks the mid point. Otherwise the data will be skewed by Outliers.

That is, those that fall so far behind, or ahead that they skew the mean.
