Jie Mi: finger length of the identified health and character

Coincidentally, the hands are one of the hallmarks of human evolution. British psychologist John Manning will be held March 6 publication of new work "finger book." His book, he writes, finger length, in particular, the proportion of the index finger and ring finger can predict personality characteristics, behavioral habits, sexual orientation, susceptible to the disease.



Men and women are different


Manning's fingers theory holds that the mother's pregnancy hormones produced by the impact of early fetal development.




Fetus ring finger on the "male hormone" testosterone are more sensitive to ring finger length were more obvious masculinity.


A man stretched out his right hand palm up, followed by measurement of the index finger and ring finger refers to the length of the root to fingertip, and then use the index finger length divided by ring finger length, which was "finger length ratio." Women on average finger length ratio is 1 for men 0.98. Ring finger longer than index finger, finger length ratio is less than one person, known as "swingers-type." Finger length ratio values greater than one person may be more obvious female characteristics.


Forecast for Health


Manning believes that the disease there are differences in gender distribution. For example, he found that finger length ratio masculine tendencies, especially in 0.9 below are more susceptible to osteoarthritis. Ring finger longer than index finger were also susceptible to rubella, chicken pox, dandruff disease and athlete's foot. The index finger than ring finger for the elderly vulnerable to breast cancer, neurosis, allergies, eczema and asthma.


But Manning, in his book to remind people not to rush to conclusions. He said that finger length ratio there are many exceptions to the rules, not all studies have reached a reliable correlation
