L'anthropométrie judiciaire a servi, au début du siècle, de modèle d'identification pour reconnaître les malfaiteurs récidivistes. Le mesurage du pied, de la taille, de la tête, de l'oreille, etc., constituait un ensemble de paramètres permettant d'identifier un individu sans aucune marge d'erreur. Bien entendu, le test d'ADN est devenu aujourd'hui plus populaire pour identifier le véritable coupable. 3, record 1, French, - anthropom%C3%A9trie%20judiciaire
