| Jan 29, 2012 at 20:57 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | Do you think that simian lines may be "something special" for lack of better wording? The wikipedia page on simian lines cites a correlation with many different chromosomal disorders and notes a correlation with heart disease. Also, what do you make of the studies showing linking simian lines to criminal/delinquent behavior? | |

| Jan 29, 2012 at 18:44 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | Ive editied my question to remove palm reading aspects. Also, I found this medhelp.org/posts/Child-Behavior/… which is interesting, as it notes there could be an indirect correlation, although seemingly not in healthy individuals who posses a simian line. | |

| Jan 28, 2012 at 21:42 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | OK, I've also removed the downvote. Thanks :) | |
| Jan 28, 2012 at 21:40 | comment | added | Larian LeQuella | @SonnyOrdell Let me know when you change your question. :) I'll gladly change my answer. | |
| Jan 28, 2012 at 21:37 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | I don't mind editing the answer and getting rid of the palmistry claims, but this may make much of your answer obsolete. As long as you don't mind changing your answer?.. -- I wasn't sure if any physical traits could correlate with personality and didn't want to ask such a broad question, although it's interesting there doesn't seem to be. Not that I expected there would be, still, interesting. | |
| Jan 28, 2012 at 21:29 | comment | added | Larian LeQuella | @SonnyOrdell Besides, attempting to use external traits as some sort of clue to behaviour and personality has a long and distinguished history of being bunk as well. Just think of phrenology! | |
| Jan 28, 2012 at 21:28 | comment | added | Larian LeQuella | @SonnyOrdell I still suggest that they be removed though, since they are distracting... There is a lot of chaff on the internet, and Palmistry ranks up there with some of the stinkiest chaff.... And just because a claim is common is no indication of its validity. Which is why I spent time debunking palmistry... A lie is a lie if millions believe it, and the truth is the truth if no one believes it. And questionable sources for claims without any other sources may be your first clue as to the validity of the claim. | |
| Jan 28, 2012 at 21:10 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | The claims are coming from palmistry sites, simply because they are the most abundant. Since simian lines are on the palm palmists are going to take note of that. However just because a claim is made by a questionable source doesn't mean there isn't something to the claim. Basically, your answer takes time to show why palmistry is bunk when I'm not asking about palmistry. I feel this question should be treated the same as the redheads question. -- I will however look for non palmistry sources for claims. | |

| Jan 28, 2012 at 21:04 | comment | added | Larian LeQuella | @SonnyOrdell Then perhaps you should edit your question? At least half of the question's body has quotes from palmistry sites... Those distract from the remainder of the question (which I also addressed in my answer with the ever popular "we're not sure, yet"). And the paper I cited in a comment on the "red hair" questions seems to indicate there really is NO correlation to hair colour and personality. | |
| Jan 28, 2012 at 20:55 | comment | added | Sonny Ordell | I've downvoted this. The claim has nothing to do with palmistry and certainly not cold reading. It's about a distinct and somewhat rare physical trait and a possible correlation with personality. A correlation between simian lines should be just as possible as between red hair and temperament. Also, the answer should be specific to simian lines, not hand or palm stuff in general. | |
