Behavioral neuroscience - 1 Dec 1994

Hall J A, Kimura D

Abstract excerpt

Dermal ridges on the fingertips are formed early in fetal life and remain unchanged throughout the life span. The researchers examined dermatoglyphic characteristics (total ridge count and directional ridge asymmetry) in homosexual and heterosexual men. There was no difference between the 2 groups of men in total ridge count, but more gay men demonstrated leftward asymmetry than did nongay men. Although this...
