The early branch of brain study that was proved false as science improved is phrenology. Phrenology, developed in the early 19th century by Franz Joseph Gall, posited that the shape and size of the skull could determine personality traits and intellectual capabilities. This theory has since been discredited by advances in neuroscience and a better understanding of brain function.
