Phrenology

My group and I discussed the interesting division of the human brain and how each part related to a different action or emotion of humans. After researching, I learned that each part of the brain was considered to be an "organ". Each organ was a different size based on the power it had in the humans body. It was interesting to me how "selfish" was one of the biggest organs on the bust. Lorenzo Fowler was the man who created the artifact. I learned that the bust is a secondary source based on what we were searching for, but if the question we were asking was changed, then it could be a primary source. The definition of provenance is "the place or origin or earliest known history of something."
