The issue with i.e. phrenology is that there's no association between skull shapes and behavior, as far as anyone can tell. There do seem to be a bunch of correlations relating to gender and behavior (although why exactly those correlations exist is certainly actively debated).
How do you figure it's unscientific?

- hotdogscout 3y ago"Cranial capacity was found to correlate significantly with performance IQ (0.14) and total IQ (0.13)."[0] Does this prove Phrenology is a science? I think it's unscientific because polls are not an accurate test parameter to evaluate behavior, it can't be reproduced without a lot of bias and variables. The questions, subjects and practice of analysing yourself is full of parameters the researchers fail to account for. It's very rudimentary and below the quality of a MythBusters episode, I don't get how this can be replicated let alone trusted as is.
