Are People Squares?

There actually is an entire science dedicated to measurement and comparison of measurements of the human body.  This science is called Anthropometry, and the data collected are called anthropometric data.  A good starting point for further research includes the website, Human Factors: Anthropometric Data.

Discussion of body measurements may lead to the image of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.  Please note da Vinci's drawings are detailed sketches of the human anatomy; preview of the images might be warranted for younger audiences or the squeamish.
