However, he also pinpoints the differing values that liberals and conservatives...

In the 19th century, science held the view that women were intellectually inferior to men. This argument was carefully cultivated over the years by the "science" of phrenology and subsequent research into skull size, brain makeup, and even facial angles.

This program from the BBC archives examines...
