Phrenology Map

Description
What stands out to you about this nineteenth century phrenology “map”? Are you surprised by any of the aptitudes, emotions, and characteristics included here? Surprised by anything major that seems to be missing? Does there seem to be any rhyme or reason to which labels are assigned to which regions of the skull? Sure, phrenology has long since been debunked, but as you read the rest of this chapter, consider whether there might be any ways in which the same motivations and assumptions that can be seen in this diagram continue to influence contemporary ways of thinking about human nature.
