Here is an article on HN from History Today, August

| Quote: | | The research project was carried out by Naomi Tickle, an international personologist and author of You Can Read a Face Like a Book, who identified the key facial characteristics that epitomise heroism. |
I think that the fact that the study was sponsored by "Woods’ 100 Old Navy Rum" says it all.
Silly stuff in the line of 19th cent phrenology and all the excess of Lombroso.
I know perfectly stupid people with a Roman nose.
