1Author:  Combe, George, 1788-1858
 Phrenologist, publicist. Combe was a prominent writer, lecturer, and popularizer of the phrenological movement in 19th-century Great Britain and the United States. Phrenology was the intellectual antecedent of later nineteenth- and twentieth-century craniology and anthropometry. Public debates over phrenology's materialist foundations foreshadowed succeeding arguments over the basis and validity of subsequent racial formalisms.
