title: [History of methods for estimating body height by skeletal findings. Recommendations for estimating body height by skeletal findings up to the middle of the 20th century].
abstract: Up to now no historical review concerning the methods to estimate body height from skeletons has been given. As well no collection of the formulae relevant to this subject, which would save laborious search in the wide-scattered literature, is available hitherto. This study tries to fill this gap. The anthropological and statistical treatment of the populations under study will not be discussed in this connection, because this has to be left to a separate study.
