Abstract

During in the year 1808, Gall was assessing a person's intellectual attributes by means of bumps in their heads. He held the opinion that an intellectual trait, as well as any other trait, would show the degree of its development by exerting a local pressure, pressing outward and finally appearing as a bump.
