Boys with Longer Ring Fingers are Better at Math

slashthedot writes "While it is well known that boys have longer ring fingers as compared to index fingers, now some researchers say that the longer the ring finger ratio to index finger, the better boys are at math.

'The link, according to the researchers, is that testosterone levels in the womb influence both finger length and brain development.'" Read more of this story[2] at Slashdot.
