hey dear..........!!!
Somatotypes are a set of generalized body types. Psychologist William Sheldon came up with somatotypes in the 1940s and they were one of the biological theories developed in this time period that attempted to explain and predict crime based on a person's body type. These body types broke down into three categories: ectomorphs, endomorphs, and mesomorphs.
Sheldon developed these categories based on existing knowledge at the time of how embryos develop in layers, namely the inner layer, or the endoderm; the middle layer or the mesoderm; and the outer layer, or the ectoderm. Generally speaking, ectomorphs are thin and slender and may appear fragile, endomorphs are round and solid and often appear overweight, and mesomorphs tend to have developed muscles and appear strong and powerful.
Sheldon examined a group of 200 young men who were referred to a community center focused on helping young male delinquents. During a 10-year period, he compared these individuals to a group of 200 non-delinquent college students, ranking individuals in the study according to their body type. He found that many of the juvenile delinquent men had mesomorphic body types, whereas most of the college students had ectomorphic body types. He also noted specific behavioral and personality traits associated with a predominance of each body type.
