Phrenology was something I had not heard of before doing my research, but a topic I stumbled upon that intrigued me. <br />Alastair, that is an excellent point, In this case it was taken to an extreme, and they tried to apply the qualities of the human body they understood to the brain, and not with great success I'm afraid.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325368032189911388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172853256636260201.post-90582864597861044322015-12-05T13:54:00.540-08:002015-12-05T13:54:00.540-08:00Hi Rebekka, I really enjoyed the way your blog is ...Hi Rebekka, I really enjoyed the way your blog is written. It's got a great balance between information and entertainment, and I particularly enjoyed your use of images. The modern-day phrenology diagrams are brilliant. I was fascinated by the fact that phrenology helped lay the foundations for neuroscience and psychiatry, as my blog touched upon these sciences also. What I noticed from my research, and what your blog highlights too, is how often the Victorians looked for physically apparent answers to mysterious ailments.Alastair Sherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832908415304327156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172853256636260201.post-24421893099882096592015-12-05T01:54:07.794-08:002015-12-05T01:54:07.794-08:00This is a really interesting topic!
