Simian Line / Single Transverse Palmar Crease

learner wrote:A big thank you to Mr. Martijn, Ms Lynn & Mr. Parender for giving me your valuable feedback.

Yes I do understand that the Simian qualities are not exclusive to the Simian. I also recognize that the hand needs to be examined in its entirety. I'm sure that my complete lack of experience is playing a huge part in my question.

However, my point was a little different.  It obviously wasn't conveyed correctly in my question. So let me conceptualize the precise issue in my own mind first. I will then post a modified query.

Until then, thanks for your inputs. Hearing from experienced readers is always a huge benefit.

Hi again learner,

During the past days I have noticed that inside the Facebook group 'The Simian Line' some people (including the admins) have adopted the believe that only simian line people are able to understand the nature of the simian line properly. I recognize this to represent another type of misperception, because in the perspective of how science works this is not quite realistic (and it could lead to simian line people putting their heads in the ground in order to ignore all related research).

I also found it striking to notice that inside that group some simian line people have adopted the believe that they have a problem with separating thoughts from emotions - which I recognize to represent another doubtful idea that finds it's origins in palmistry - because some schools in psychology that thought and emotion represent sort of two sides of one experience and it is also known that most people have some trouble to separate both from each other. So the major hypothesis cherished there is not unique for simian line people neither... because it actually could apply to many people (if not most).

I was wondering whether this is somehow helpful for you to know?
I am also looking forward to see you posting a 'modified query' as you have planned.



PS. The recent discussion inside that group have made me also aware that there is a sensible pattern inside the results that I found for how the simian line correlates with the Big Five dimensions - because the troublesome nature of the simian probably explains why my results indicate that is correlates with high scores on the domain Neuroticism (which can itself easily be recognized to have an emotional troublesome association), plus it correlates with low scores on the Big Five domain Extraversion (here it is interesting to be aware that high scores on this domain are generally perceived in American society to be favourable compared to the introversion associated with low scores).
