Abstract

In 1882 Sir Francis Galton called for the creation of “anthropometric laboratories”:

The leading ideas of such a laboratory is I have in view, were that its measurement should effectually “sample” a man with reasonable completeness. It should measure absolutely where it was possible, otherwise relatively among his close fellows, the quality of each selected faculty. The next step would be to estimate the combined effect of these separately measured faculties in any given proportion and ultimately to ascertain the degree with which the measurement of sample faculties in youth justifies a prophecy of further success in life, using the word “success” in its most literal meaning. (Galton, 1885, p. 206)
