The three somatotypes—endomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic—are basic classifications of animal
body types according to the prominence of different basic
tissues types, roughly:
digestive,
muscular, and nervous tissues. They form the core of a theory, developed in the 1940s by American
psychologist William Sheldon, associating body types with human
temperament types. This linkage is fairly simplistic and is seen as outdated in
physiological science, but the account of somatotypes is still probably a valid, if limited way to sort basic body types.
