About
George Combe was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was a Scottish phrenologist, lawyer, natural philosopher, and writer. He founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820 and was the author of the highly influential The Constitution of Man. He trained in Scots law and had an Edinburgh solicitor's practice. Although even at the time many people doubted the ‘scientific’ evidence for such assumptions, Combe believed that phrenology was ‘the greatest and most important discovery ever communicated to mankind’. He wrote several books include: Elements of Phrenology, A System of Phrenology, Science And Religion, Lectures on Phrenology, On the functions of the cerebellum, and Moral Philosophy.
