Heritability of the Second to Fourth Digit Ratio (2d:4d): A Twin Study

2006-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The second to fourth finger length ratio (2d:4d) has been the subject of much recent work and is thought to be related to diverse gender and hormone-related traits including sports ability, disease susceptibility, attractiveness and sexuality. It is established in utero and remains constant in adulthood. Familial clustering has been thought to contribute to the development of 2d:4d from early studies but...
