Descripción
Phrenology is an old theory that stated the possible determination of the character and personality traits and criminal tendencies, based on the shape of the skull, head and features. Developed around 1800 by German neuroanatomist Franz Joseph Gall1 and extremely popular during the nineteenth century and today is considered a pseudoscience. It has received, however, some merit as proto for his contribution to medical science with his idea of »The brain is the organ of the mind», and that certain areas contain specific localized functions.
