FAMOUS SIMIAN LINES - Which famous persons have a 'simian line'?

**Martijn (admin)** on Wed Nov 03, 2010 11:32 pm

The simian line [or: 'simian crease'] has became famous for it's significance in Down's syndrome. Basically, it can be described as a 'fusion line' between the heart line and the head line (see the picture above). And it is probably the most well-known 'palmar crease'-variant. Another interesting aspect of the simian line is that the simian line also became recognized as a 'minor physical anomaly' (= MPA*).

* NOTICE: MPA's concern relatively harmless birth-marks; in some people an MPA can be recongnized as a 'marker' for a medical problem that they have, but these people usually also have other MPA's!! So, one can not attribute any specific meaning to a simian line in the hands of any person without considering other hand characteristics!!).

Basically, simian lines are relatively often (...but not always!!) featured with a specific variant of a medical- or psychological characteristic. At my website I have described an overview of these potential characteristics, see:
- medical problems associated with the simian line
- psychological characteristics associated with the simian line

However, I would like to dedicate this new topic about the simian line to on another group of 'simian line holders'... that is: the famous people who are known for having a simian line!!

Over the years, I have noticed that not very many 'outperformers' have a simian - but nevertheless, it is interesting to notice that in all cultures around the world you can find fascinating successfull people who have a simian line in one- or both hands.

Therefore, let's use this 'forum topic' to present photos of the hands of the most famous 'simian liners' around the world:

- FAMOUS SIMIAN LINE HOLDERS -

Here's my TOP 5 of the most successfull people who have a simian line (NOTICE: Simian lines are usually less 'problematic' + more common in the left hand; so it is probably not a coincidence in most of the famous 'simian line holder', the line is found in the left hand!!):

1 - Robert DeNiro (american actor - some people even consider him as the best actor of all times): he has a (complete) simian line in his left hand only.

2 - Tony Blair (British politician, former prime minister of the UK): he has a (complete) simian line both hands.

3 - Hillary Clinton (american politician - current minister of foreign affairs; she's the wife of former US president Bill Clinton): he has a (incomplete) simian line in her left hand only.

4 - Armin van Buuren (Dutch 'trance' disk-jockey, from 2007 to 2010 he has been voted as the most popular DJ around the world): he has a (complete) simian line in his left hand [not sure about his right hand, but likely the heart line doesn't touches his head line].

5 - Thom Yorke (English musician, leadsinger of the rockband Radiohead): he has an (incomplete) simian line in his right hand.

PS. Finally, here you can also find a nice overview of people who were at least once 'claimed' to belong to the group of 'famous simian line holders', but the photos display that the claim was not valid:

... By the way, some famous persons do not have true 'simian line', but sometimes they do have another unusual variant.

A FEW EXAMPLES:

- Muhammad Ali (american boxer, possibly the best of all times): he has in his right hand a 'single radial base crease' [NOTICE: He doesn't have a simian line because: he does have a complete head line! However, in both hands is his heart line connected to the starting point of his life line + head line]
