The Combe Brothers and the Fowler Brothers
Those thinkers and physiologists who wrote of and studied Phrenology after Gall took it very seriously. For white-European philosophers and physiologists, it was a reminder that the superiority of the white man can be physically accounted for via measurements of their Caucasian skull. Their gene-given intelligence, physical capacities, and strong moral values are now backed by science, and so scientists like George Combe and his brother and the Fowler Brothers took flight with enthusiasm to spread these ideas.
