LEFT HAND RIGHT HAND

A large number of studies show that comparati!e finger length matches brain organisation. ? A typical male brain correlates with: "he index finger -5nd digit0 is shorter than the ring finger -7th digit0. A typical !emale brain correlates with: "he index and ring fingers are the same length@ occasionally the index finger is longer than the ring finger.
