Produktbeschreibung
""A Phrenologist Amongst The Todas"" is a book written by William E. Marshall in 1873. The book is an account of Marshall's study of the Toda tribe, a primitive tribe in South India. Marshall was a phrenologist, which means he believed that the shape and size of a person's skull could reveal their character and personality. In the book, Marshall describes the history, character, customs, religion, infanticide, polyandry, and language of the Toda tribe. He also discusses his observations of the tribe's physical appearance, including the shape of their skulls. Marshall's study of the Toda tribe provides valuable insights into the culture and way of life of a little-known tribe in South India, and his work remains an important contribution to the field of anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
