Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "phrenology" is specifically associated with the practice of trying to determine personality traits by examining the shape and features of the skull. Ontogeny refers to the development of an individual organism, while dualism is the idea that mind and body are separate entities. Epigenetics is a more recent field of study that focuses on how genes and the environment interact to affect gene expression. None of these fields are directly related to phrenology.
