Phrenology became outdated on the basis that it is no longer considered a serious science, and that it cannot be used to obtain information about the brain/mind. it has become obsolete through advancements in neuroscience.

What is the sudy of phrenology?

Phrenology is a pseudoscience that claims personality traits and mental abilities can be determined by the shape and size of bumps on the skull. It was popular in the 19th century but has since been discredited and is not considered a legitimate field of study in modern science.


The discredited 'science' of phrenology explained behavior via the 'bumps' in one's head Who is credited - if that is the word - with the development of this technique?

Franz Joseph Gall is credited -- that is the right word, even for a discredited pseudoscience -- for developing phrenology. Here is a link to additional information about that practice, including its chronology. http://www.victorianweb.org/science/phrenology/phrenologyov.html [Unfortunately, some of the links on the page are broken because the British Net Internet Library Service has been discontinued.]
