    So is crime, ultimately both stem from a sense of right and wrong, or lack of it.

      idk what Phrenology or crime has anything to do with the study and I’m yet to see an argument for it

        100% a response to the headline, which clearly must be false, you can’t tell political affiliation just by looking at a persons face.
        Maybe in USA you have a slightly better chance than random, because age and gender alone will give a statistical difference. But the claim of the headline remains false.

  Phrenology is bullshit. Race has been shown to correlate with political leaning several times and it’s encoded as facial attribute.

    Absolutely not, social status yes, but oppression of a race, doesn’t mean the race has a tendency, only that they are pressured into a social status that has that tendency.

      You’re the one bringing oppression and phrenology, that’s not what the study is about.

    It turns out that people in similar situations want similar things from their governments. It also turns out that a history of oppression based on race tends to put people from that race into a similar situation. And so on.

    The correlation isn’t coming from anything specific to the face, but clues about what demographic that individual could be from.
