Naeviology is a method of divination which looks at the moles, scars, or other bodily marks on a person as a means of telling their future.[1][2][3] It peaked in popularity between the 1700 and 1800s.[4] Several scientific papers have tried to automate the process of mole reading. [5][6]
In India this practice is called moleologyormoleosophy.[7] There is a related process called Chinese facial mole reading which links mole locations primarily on the face with personality traits or future life events; there are smartphone applications which claim to foretell the future using the phone's camera to survey moles.
