Answer:

Hello YOU!

Explanation:

Phrenology was a science of character divination, faculty psychology, theory of brain and what the 19th-century phrenologists called "the only true science of mind."Phrenology came from the theories of the idiosyncratic Viennese physician Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828).

Gall believed that the bumps and uneven geography of the human skull were caused by pressure exerted from the brainunderneath. He divided the brain into sections that corresponded to certain behaviors and traits that he called fundamental faculties. This is referred to as localization of function.

Phrenology is considered pseudoscience today, but it was actually a vast improvement over that era's prevailing views of personality. ... But phrenology may be undergoing a redemption of sorts. Not the skull part—that's still considered bunk.

Phrenology was particularly popular in the U.S. because it fit so well with the idea of the American dream–the notion that we can accomplish our goals despite a humble heritage. Spurzheim believed that the brain was like a muscle that could be exercised.

Answer:

allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

  • When the population belonging to the same biological species becomes separated from each other due to some geographical factor such that no gene flow can occur between the two separated populations then the speciation that occurs on account of this is known as allopatric speciation.
  • The geographical isolation that separates the two groups can be the origin of a mountain,  the formation of islands, volcanic eruption, etc. which prevents the two groups fro mating with each other and ultimately causes their lineage to speciate.
  • Although the two separate populations are unable to mate due to geographical factors, if the two populations are allowed to mate again, given that they have not been separated very long ago, they can give rise to hybrids.
  • Thus, in the given question it is given that polar bears and grizzly bears have been mated and hybrids have been produced and this points out to the fact that polar bears are result of allopatric speciation.

This is called <span>thigmotropism

It comes from ancient Greek and basically means to touch in a certain direction. They don't, however, only react to touch; they react to things like wind too in order to latch and not be separated when there's wind blowing on them. </span>
