Phrenology chart, showing presumed areas of activity of the brain, c1920. Phrenology was a theory, propounded by the German physician Franz Joseph Gall in around 1800, that you could judge a person's emotional and intellectual characteristics by the shape of their cranium. Although not based on fact, the theory became extremely popular.
