Two fingers sure say a lot

Article Abstract:

The human fingers, according to research, carry the mark of our early fetal environment. They also shine light onto early sexual development and the research suggests that the ring and index fingers are the most important. These fingers carry information as important as fertility and disease, sex and race, mental flaws and human abilities.

The article discusses those various processes, as well as differing theories, such as the meta-analysis by John Carroll, performed in 1993, which included 322 studies involving hundreds of cognitive tests.
