jan 1, 1808 - Franz Gall writes about phrenology.

Description:

Phrenology is the idea that a person’s skull shape and placement of bumps on the head can reveal personality traits. Gall's version of Organology states that the mind is a collection of independent entities housed within the brain. Phrenology is considered pseudoscience today, but it was actually a vast improvement over that era's prevailing views of personality.
