I scrolled through the linked stories all the way to the end, and while there were a few stories about neolithic skull cults, I could find nothing about phrenology. Perhaps I missed it - could you point it out?

Substack is full of this sort of thing, to the point that I immediately look at the author page before reading (probably a good habit to have everywhere, really)

I don't see it? Could you link to something specific?

Disappointing, but not particularly surprising. Anyone from New Zealand would be familiar with "what about the Moriori" being almost exclusively mentioned as a way to downplay the harm caused by European colonization rather than as any sort of genuine historical curiosity.

What a strange thing to be disappointed in. Would you say you prefer the depressive part of the internet that has no interest in people?
