Andie claims that phrenology is a pseudoscience and not a true science. Which of the following statements supports her claim?
A) When phrenologists found large "stealing" bumps on the head of a person who was not a thief, they concluded that other positive bumps held this characteristic in check.
B) Most of the phrenologists received inadequate training in the analysis of head bumps so there were variations in their predictions.
C) Phrenologists relied heavily on the theories of Charles Darwin, and yet they could not link the bumps to evolutionary adaptation.
D) When "bumps" did not accurately explain a person's characteristics, the phrenologists explained the contradiction by hypothesizing traumatic childhood experiences.
