["Phrenology was a popular pseudoscience during the 19th century. It was based on the belief that there was a direct relationship between the shape of the skull and an individual's personality traits. Phrenology was popularized by several prominent figures of the time, including Franz Joseph Gall and Johann Spurzheim. Phrenology was often practiced through the use of phrenological maps, which were based on the beliefs of Gall and Spurzheim regarding the location of various personality traits on the skull."]
