<><> The head shape (and physiognomy) thing probably is crap.
However, if the data were looked at again, perhaps correlations could be
found, nonetheless.

Probably most of us have seen the article, but they did examine
Einstein's brain and found that the significant difference was the
amount of folding & fissures, not the total size.
The problem, of course, is that many of the really meaningful
measurements involve invasive or fatal surgery -- except for DNA
analysis, which unhappily will be commonplace someday, and then we'll
have to deal with the "it's predetermined so don't bother to experiment"
syndrome.
