Certain aspects of head shape are extremely influenced by environment, without an apparent affect on intelligence. Phrenology may have accidentally hit upon some genetic connections, but it did not make use of any scientific method and as such was never a science.

If phrenology proved women or blacks were inferior we'd be all over it like a rash and blaming the Jews for getting it discredited
