Phrenology
was a protoscience
developed in the
early 1800’s
by a German physician
Franz Joseph Gall,
The basic premise
of Phrenology
is that by studying
the shape of ones
skull, you can
obtain knowledge
about their personality,
intelligence,
and even heredity.
Phrenologists
used sophisticated
pseudoscientific
methods to study
the human skull,
in the process
discovering many
very valid facts,
this is why Phrenology
was a protoscience. |
