[sci.med] body types

todd@uop.edu (Dr. Nethack) (05/18/88)

A friend of mine used to have a book, that was borrowed.. ;-)

It had sillouettes of body types and features of humans.

Does such a book still exist?  What book did he have?

Please e-mail

Thank you!

The theory of somatotypes is no longer considered worth emphasizing -
but it still certainly is of great interest in the history of science -

Anyhow - here is an interesting reference
