Lombroso believed that certain physical characteristics, such as a low sloping forehead, a prominent jaw, and excess body hair, were associated with a more primitive and less evolved form of human being, which he called the "criminal type." This criminal type was thought to be biologically predisposed towards deviant behavior. Lombroso also claimed that other physical traits, such as the size and shape of the ears, could indicate a person's propensity towards criminal behavior. Therefore, all of the choices – body type, face shape, and size of ears – were associated by Lombroso with a person being a more primitive form of human being, inclining them toward deviance.
