true

their understanding of race was unscientific

I get a kick out of Phrenology.

That stuff was whacky

isnt that just brain shape

Is that like the skull thing from Django unchained

The shape and texture of the brain determines mental issues and personality

is that not true tho

It is untrue.

It's a pseudo-science as it was studied.

Perhaps something similar could have some truth,

but not as it was used for eugenics

the shape of the brain doesn't determine or evidences psychopathy, for example.

But different races do have different skull shapes

And that can correlate to success, morality, etc..

But the shape of the vessel doesn't determine the contents it protects.

Phrenology is correct

In the sense races have different skills and the avg IQ for black races is 65

Skulls**

Again, I'm not sure the size or measurements of the skulls are factors in determining that.

It's correctly classified as a pseudo-science.

A false practice.

Not that you can identify the IQ based on a skull but given the race you can guess the probability they would be a certain iq

In a convoluted way, I suppose.

But phrenology was deeper than that.

Also brain size and IQ are correlated so big heads 💪

Even a bump in a certain area, or a "dent" could mean the difference between one who is feebleminded or normal.

Furthermore, they pinpointed areas of the brain where "morality" was located, and other traits of personality, which is erroneous.

The brain isn't a house with many rooms as they believed it to be.

Daily reminder that black people are awesome

We wuz artists and shiet

Does look pretty cool.

Wouldn't think it was African tbh

They have some cool art

In the form of sculpture/physical stuff

Paintings not so much
