 | | Like much of the intelligence testing to come, craniometry evolved from a desire to scientifically explain the success and perceived superiority of people of northern European descent-and the relative failure of other groups. | | | In fact, craniometry proved no more a science than astrology, and in truth needed some help. | | | Naturally, this required that the subjects be dead, and that the only "results" were comparative skull sizes of various groups, which led to hypotheses about those groups. |

| | I feared that in making measurements on heads with the intention of finding a difference in volume between an intelligent and a less intelligent head, I would be led to increase, unconsciously and in good faith, the cephalic volume of intelligent heads and to decrease that of unintelligent heads. | | | There are still many people in the world who hate others because of the color of their skin, and who think that intelligence is determined by race. | | | Scientists obtained their ideas on race from society; they then proved these ideas using scientific "facts;" the scientists then presented their proofs to society, thus reinforcing the racist beliefs of that society. |

| | The shared techniques were IQ testing, craniometry, and other anthropometric measures. | | | Craniometry, IQ psychometry, and phrenology entered their heyday as the preferred tools of biological determinists bent on providing the scientific ‘proof’ that would place white European men atop a racial, class, and gender hierarchy. According to Kuhn, the period of 'normal science' is one during which | | | Within the scientific community, the basic tenets of scientific racism was accepted without question. |

| | Craniometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Craniometry is the technique of measuring the bones of the skull. | | | Six years later, Pieter Camper, distinguished both as an artist and as an anatomist, published some lectures containing an account of his craniometrical methods, and these may be fairly claimed as having laid the foundation of all subsequent work. | | | While it is impossible to analyse each contribution, or even record a complete list of the names of the authors, it must be added that for the purposes of far-reaching comparisons of humans to other animals, craniometric methods were used by Paul Pierre Broca in France and by T. |

| | craniometry (craniology) |
| | Craniometry is the measurement of cranial features in order to classify people according to race, criminal temperament, intelligence, etc. The underlying assumption of craniometry is that skull size and shape determine brain size which determines such things as intelligence and capacity for moral behavior. | | | In logic, this is called the fallacy of division: reasoning that what is true of the whole or group must also be true of the parts or members of the group. | | | The Belgians used these pseudosciences, among other things, to distinguish Hutus from Tutsis in Rwanda. |
