10. Phrenologists believed that the contour of the skull could provide
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



valuable information about an individual’s cognitive capacities and personality
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ssss s s s s s s s s s s s s ssss



traits. This approach was based on the assumption that
ssss ssss s s s s ssss s s s s s s s s ssss ssss ssss



a. skull protrusions are caused by disproportionate development of
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s ssss s s s s s s s s

and injuries that alter the shape of the skull in
