| Jan 26, 2012 at 20:34 | comment | added | Sklivvz | @Brightblades according to wikipedia they are correlated to a few diseases. | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 15:18 | comment | added | Mad Scientist♦ | I've reopened the question, the connection to race seems to me to be more accidental and not a central part of those claims. | |

| Jan 25, 2012 at 8:34 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | @Zano except it wouldn't. I don't understand why you don't see the distinction. Everybody has palm lines. Only 10% have a single simian line with 5% having one on both hands. Palm lines are not correlated with anything, because everybody has them. Simian lines are correlated with various things because not everybody has them. An answer to this question would not be a valid answer to the more general question and vice versa. Do you see why it's different? | |
| Jan 25, 2012 at 8:31 | comment | added | Zano | But simian lines are palm lines. It's a specific uncommon palm line called "simian line". I agree that your question is more specific, and in my opinion better phrased. My point is that any answer to your question would be valid as an answer to the prior question. | |
| Jan 25, 2012 at 8:15 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | @Zano, No, I don't consider it the same thing. The line is on the palm so it isn't surprising it comes up in palmistry and that palmists are some of the people making the claim. The general question on palmistry wouldn't apply as everybody has palm lines but only ~10% of the population have simian lines. Further, simian lines are correlated with various other things while palm lines are not, to my knowledge. The other question isn't useful at all because it isn't specific to simian lines. | |
| Jan 25, 2012 at 8:06 | comment | added | Zano | You might want to remove the 50% of the question that talk about palmistry then, if your question is not about palmistry. The prior question asks the following: "Are there any studies that relate any personality traits to shapes of the hand, or lines?", in short, the same thing as what you are asking here, no? | |
| Jan 25, 2012 at 7:58 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | @Zano I think it is a separate question. Palmistry is the idea that you can tell aspects of a persons personality or future from the palm lines that everybody has. I'm asking if there is any correlation between personality and a distinct type of palm line that only a minority of the population have as is claimed. I also note simian lines are correlated with various genetic disorders and other biological conditions, mainly heart disease. | |
| Jan 25, 2012 at 7:52 | comment | added | Zano | Well researched question, though dup of skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/615/… methinks. | |
