Why are sciences like Craniology, Lamarckian Evolution, and some forms of astronomy dead?
Many of them are bases to other sciences, why have they been thrown in graves and dismissed so easily?
Craniology (or phrenology), has been useful on determining intelligence and can study similarities between people of similar bone structure,
LaMarck's evolution proved that if the parents were muscular, then their child will have similar attributes,
and astronomy helps us study how our environment, the weather, the position of the universe, has an effect on our minds.
