QUESTION

behave antisocially.
He claimed criminals are not fully evolved, instead they are throwbacks to a
previous evolutionary state. This is known as ATAVISM.
As a result, you can spot a criminal from their physical atavistic features.
Principle markers: Other characteristics:
• Strong jaw • A t wisted nose
• Heavy brow • Excessive cheekbones
Murderers: • Excessively long arms
• Bloodshot eyes • Excessive wrinkles on the skin
• Curly hair • Large/protruding jaw
Sex offenders: • Large chin
• Thick lips • Sloping/receding forehead
• Protruding ears • Strongly developed cheeks
• Left handedness
• Other defects: e.g., third nipples

too
To research his theory, Lombroso studied the facial and cranial features of 383
dead criminals and 3,839 living criminals.
He concluded that 40% of criminal acts were committed by individuals with
atavistic features.
He even claimed you could tell what type of crime they would commit based on
which features they had.
To be marked by Lombroso as BORN CRIMINALS, women need to have 3 or more
atavistic features and men need 5 or more
Lombroso also believed TATTOOS were markings of born criminals because they
stood as evidence of both IMMORALITY and INSENSITIVITY to physical pain.
