| ABSTRCT | Abstract—The length ratio of the index finger (2D) to the ring finger (4D) has been the subject of much recent research, although the sexually dimorphic nature of this ratio has been reported for over 50 years. The 2D:4D ratio is a likely biomarker for the organizational (permanent) effects of prenatal androgens on the human brain and body, and seems that the ratio is stable during life. Coco et al. recently reported that male medical students have lower 2D:4D than male non-medical students. In this study, we attempted to replicate their finding with 140 medical students (97 male, 43 female) and 150 individuals who did not pass the medical school admission test (non-medical students)(99 male, 51 female) [1]. The results showed that average right 2D:4D of male is lower in medical students than in non-medical students as reported by Coco et al. [1]. However, no difference exists in female. |
