https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit
...According to a letter Fahrenheit wrote to his friend Herman Boerhaave,[13] his scale was built on the work of Ole Rmer, whom he had met earlier. In Rmer's scale, brine freezes at zero, water freezes and melts at 7.5 degrees, body temperature is 22.5, and water boils at 60 degrees. Fahrenheit multiplied each value by four in order to eliminate fractions and make the scale more fine-grained. He then re-calibrated his scale using the melting point of ice and normal human body temperature (which were at 30 and 90 degrees); he adjusted the scale so that the melting point of ice would be 32 degrees and body temperature 96 degrees, so that 64 intervals would separate the two, allowing him to mark degree lines on his instruments by simply bisecting the interval six times (since 64 is 2 to the sixth power).[14][15]
Fahrenheit soon after observed that water boils at about 212 degrees using this scale.[16] The use of the freezing and boiling points of water as thermometer fixed reference points became popular following the work of Anders Celsius and these fixed points were adopted by a committee of the Royal Society led by Henry Cavendish in 1776.[17] Under this system, the Fahrenheit scale is redefined slightly so that the freezing point of water is exactly 32 F, and the boiling point is exactly 212 F or 180 degrees higher. It is for this reason that normal human body temperature is approximately 98.6 (oral temperature) on the revised scale (whereas it was 90 on Fahrenheit's multiplication of Rmer, and 96 on his original scale).[18]...
