Why the odd finger size?

1.34K views

Why aren’t our fingers the same size? Like how come most people are born with the ring finger splitting the difference between the index and middle? I know it’s like natural selection and stuff but why did it benefit us for our fingers to be how they are?!

The ratio of a man’s ring finger to his pointer finger is proportional to the amount of testosterone received in the womb. The longer the ring to the pointer, the more test.

A researcher was able to calculate ratios and use this information to accurately predict who would win in a short foot race between healthy males of similar age.
