여성은 약지가 긴 남성에게 호감 느껴
손가락 길이 비교: 당신의 네번째 손가락은 두번째 손가락 보다 깁니까? 남자의 약지(네 번째 손가락)가 검지보다 길수록 여성들이 호감을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.영국의 브리티시 로열 소사이어티에서 발간한 저널 '바이오로지컬 사이언스'에서 발표된 이 연구 결과는 태아기의 호르몬 노출 여부, 특정 신체적 특성의 발전, 그리고 이성을 끄는 매력의 연관성을 밝혔다.이 연구는 인간의 행동은 후천적인 것보다 자연적인 것에 의해 더 많은 영향을 받는다고 말한다. 이전의 연구들에서는 이미 검지와 약지의 길이 차이가 자궁에서의 테스토스테론(남성 호르몬) 노출 빈도를 보여주는 척도라고 밝혀진 바 있다. 검지와 약지의 차이가 클수록 남성 호르몬의 영향을 더 많이 받은 것으로 드러났다.이 연구를 주도한 제네바 대학의 연구진은 여성
