What betray the palms of our hands?

The gypsies and witches looking lines palm us provide our fate.

Scientists measure the length of our fingers and draw conclusions .. According to Canadian scientists, the length of the fingers of a man can ......

reveal how physically aggressive it is. A lower ratio compared to the ring (the finger wearing the ring) in a man, the more vigorously he will be, scientists from the University of Alberta researchers said. The same was not true on aggressive behavior or verbal aggression, reported in the journal Biological Psychology after studying 300 people. This phenomenon is said to be linked to testosterone exposure in the womb.

Indications

are known for some time that there is a direct correlation between finger lengths and the amount of male hormone testosterone that a baby is exposed in the womb. In women, the two fingers are usually almost equal in length, measured from the base as the top of them. In men, the ring finger is usually longer than the index. Other studies on the size of your fingers have shown that in men, the long ring finger coupled with symmetrical hands are an indication of fertility, while women are more likely be fruitful if you have a longer index finger. One study found boys with shorter ring fingers are at greater risk of suffering a heart attack in early adulthood, which is linked to testosterone levels.

In this research, Dr Peter Hurd and his student Allison Bailey measured the fingers of 300 students. Men with shorter ratios were highest scores on tests of physical aggression than those with longer index fingers, but results do not apply to women. Dr Hurd is now looking at male hockey players to see if there is a correlation between finger lengths and each player in the game. Window to the soul? The Hurd has also studied the possibility to be more prone to depression, men with longer ring fingers.

"Finger length can tell us a little about our personality. "A big part of our personalities and our traits are determined while we are embryos." But he said finger length should not be used to draw too many conclusions a person. "For example, we would not want to base the probability of hiring someone for a position based on conclusions drawn from his fingers." Professor John Manning from the psychology department of the University of Central Lancashire, who was the first identified that levels of exposure to testosterone in the womb affect finger length, agreed. The Manning said certain individual characteristics correlate better with finger length. "For example, if we had a group of runners at the starting line of a race, I could predict reasonably well who was going to win based on their fingers. "But I could not predict whether someone was neurotic." says Hurd's findings are reasonable based on what we know about the finger length, exposure testosterone and aggression, but underlines the need for more research to confirm the results.
