Really? Phrenology was utter bullshit - a methodology based on genetics can answer some questions correctly, and others within statistical bounds.
Incorporating understanding of epigenetics would improve the model, but the failure to do so does not invalidate the model completely.
As far as morphology is concerned, sex hormone levels are probably a significantly more important unconsidered factor.
