Physical anthropology refers to the measurement of the human individual for the purposes of the understanding human physical variation.
The statistical data about the distribution of body dimensions in population are used to optimize products.
Alphonse Bertillon gave this name in 1883 to the system of identification depending on the unchanging character of certain measurements of the human frame.

Humans interact with their environments based on their physical dimensions, capabilities and limits. The field of anthropometrics (human measurement) has unanswered questions, but it's still true that human physical characteristics are fairly predictable and objectively measurable. Buildings scaled to human physical capabilities have steps, doorways, railings, work surfaces, seating, shelves, fixtures, walking distances, and other features that fit well to the average person.
Humans also interact with their environments based on their sensory capabilities.
