📘 De hersenverzamelaar

by Theo Mulder

De Weense arts Franz Joseph Gall was gefascineerd door de verschillen in menselijk gedrag. Hij stelde dat de menselijke geest zich in het brein bevond en dat geestesziekten hersenaandoeningen waren. Door aan de schedel te voelen kon men moordzucht, agressie en andere eigenschappen lokaliseren – een wetenschap die later bekend werd onder de naam frenologie. Dat bleek een dramatische misvatting, waardoor Gall uiteindelijk in de vergetelheid raakte.
