Physiognomy is science that reveals characteristics of people based on their physical appearance. The word comes from the ancient Greek words physis - nature and gnosis - knowledge, and for the first time it was used in writings of Aristotle, who believed that man has characteristics within himself of a certain animal that he resembles in appearance. Today, physiognomy is used in many jobs, in order to search for certain type of people, in police, big corporations and other institutions.
