general phrenology-type nonsense I think which had a racist component but wasn't exclusive in this case
― pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:53 (six years ago) link
like I was sort of joking above because I think the physiognomical belief was that a low brow suggested caveman-like tendencies and therefore low intelligence etc and this was definitely applied racially but also across the class spectrum etc

highbrow the concept as cultural praise originates in maybe the 1800s, from gall's phrenology (word is probably later): neanderthals were identified in the 1840s, and their qualities back-inferred from there (viz they must have been bad not good bcz brows low not high: thus the feelin-yr-bumps science, anyway)
in other words lowbrow did more or less originate as a diss on neanderthals, as did the adjective neanderthal :(
in fact it is we who are the monsters here (since we obviously entirely absorbed the entire strain, probably mostly by eating them)

ok i thought it might be but i wasn't sure. there are people who sincerely believe that palestinians are philistines and so concluding that "philistine" as a pejorative is offensive is not so far-fetched.
