A specialist or expert in anthropometry; a scientist who measures human body parts and proportions.
From 'anthropometry' + '-ist' suffix. This professional term emerged in the late 19th century as anthropometry became formalized as a scientific discipline with trained practitioners.
Early 'anthropometrists' worked with law enforcement and the military, but some of the most famous (like Alphonse Bertillon) are remembered as ethical pioneers who used measurements for identification, while others became complicit in racist pseudoscience.
