The Need Of Anthropometry

The Need of Anthropometry: A Paper (1887) is a scholarly work written by Edward Hitchcock that discusses the importance of anthropometry in the study of human physical characteristics. Anthropometry is the scientific measurement of the human body, and Hitchcock argues that it is essential for understanding and categorizing human physical variation. The book covers the history of anthropometry, including its origins in ancient Greece and its development into a formal scientific discipline in the 19th century. Hitchcock also discusses the practical applications of anthropometry, such as its use in medical research, criminology, and the military. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, human biology, or physical anthropology.Also, The Report Of The Committee Upon The Method Of Physical Measurement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
