It seems like a foregone conclusion to anons here that physiognomy is true and everything I've seen has led me to believe it is too. Even the facial features of philosophers often correspond to their beliefs like pottery.

But physiognomy fringe pseudoscience in public discourse and I can't find any reliable books on the subject. Is there any literature that actually focuses on this topic? Aristotle and older philosophers made passing references but never dove deeper. "The Extended Phenotype" sounded relevant but it seems like Dawkins (unsurprisingly) connects this to everything BUT modern humans. I'm assuming it's too taboo for modern works, so older and more obscure texts might be best. Thanks.

Hoping to keep it more serious please.
