A Phrenologist Amongst The Todas is a book written by William E. Marshall in 1873, which is a study of the Toda tribe in South India. Marshall was a phrenologist, a person who studies the shape and size of the skull as an indication of mental abilities and character traits. In this book, he describes the history, character, customs, religion, infanticide, polyandry, and language of the Toda tribe.The Todas are a primitive tribe that live in the Nilgiri Hills of South India. They have a unique culture and way of life that has fascinated anthropologists and researchers for centuries. Marshall's book provides an in-depth look at the Toda people, their beliefs, and practices.The book covers a wide range of topics including the Toda's religious beliefs, which are centered around the worship of buffaloes. Marshall also discusses the Toda's practice of polyandry, which is the custom of having multiple husbands. He also delves into the controversial topic of infanticide, which was practiced by the Todas in the past.In addition to these topics, Marshall also provides a detailed analysis of the Toda language and its unique features. He describes the grammar, vocabulary, and syntax of the language, and provides examples of Toda words and phrases.Overall, A Phrenologist Amongst The Todas is a fascinating and informative book that provides a comprehensive look at the Toda tribe in South India.
