Phrenology is the now-discredited theory that mental faculties and character traits can be determined by studying the shape and contours of the skull. It was popular in the 19th century but has no scientific validity today. Chromology studies color, Numerology believes in number mysticism, Sericulture produces silk, and Neurology is the legitimate medical study of nerves.
