SUMMARY:Claremont History and Philosophy of Mathematics Seminar: Iris Clever (UChicago)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iris Clever\, University of Chicago \nTitle: The Making of the Modern Statistical Identity: From Skull Science to Biometrics \nAbstract: In this presentation\, I uncover an overlooked genealogy of biometrics\, tracing it back to early 20th-century race science and the rise of statistical thinking about human identity. Before biometrics became a technology of controlling human identity\, it was a science aimed at understanding human diversity\, specifically racial diversity. I examine the emergence of craniometry in the 19th century and how its methodologies paved the way for a novel approach to racial anthropology driven by mathematical statistics in the early 20th century. Finally\, I explore the postwar development of computerized anthropology. \nFMI (or zoom link): jlorenat [at] pitzer.edu
