    Is phrenology a big thing? I know it’s was popular a couple hundred years ago but did it make a comeback? This is the 2nd time I’ve heard it brought up in the last week and I just didn’t realize that was popular these days.

      I can’t speak to phrenology per se, but phrenology’s modern analogue is, in my opinion, the “genetics” argument. Whereas phrenology was some attempt to “explain” how the apparent shape was indicative of underlying brain structure, contemporary “scientific” racists will use genetic differences to “explain” whatever behavior they want to attribute to it.
