This is just silly pseudoscience, new-age BS if you ask me.

The only scientifically proven way of knowing if someone is a liar is to examine the shape and bumps of their skull.




And the rabbit hole only goes deeper!

"Craniometrists virtually without exception dismissed Phrenology as crackpot science while promulgating an alternative nonsense of their own. Craniometry focused on more precise and comprehensive measurements of volume, shape, and structure of the head and brain but in pursuit, it must be said, of equally preposterous conclusions. (Bill Bryson)"

It's so funny how these pseudosciences diss each other and think the other one is nonsense :)


Well, or if they have neatly trimmed facial hair or wear dark clothing.

The only proven way of knowing if someone is a liar is to get evidence.

I question your skull-bulges, sir.
