Abstract

En este ensayo estudiamos los orígenes académicos de una de las ramas más dinámicas de la historia económica en las últimas décadas. Aunque hubo unos antecedentes en la década de 1960 entre algunos historiadores de la escuela de los Annales, principalmente Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, fue realmente con los trabajos de Robert Fogel y sus asociados que esta disciplina tuvo un gran auge. Tal vez la ventaja que tuvieron estos últimos historiadores fue que incorporaron los aspectos biológicos y utilizaron el instrumental estadístico que manejan los cliometristas. A continuación, se presenta una revisión del estado de la investigación en antropometría histórica en las diferentes regiones del mundo.
