AB Evolutionary psychologists and biologists have shown thatsome morphological features are related to surprising behavioraldifferences. One example of this is the length of the index fingeras compared with the ring finger, which is considered to be amorphological index of prenatal exposure to testosterone inanimals and humans. We have compared here this finger-lengthratio, aggression and dominance in men and women, and resultsshow that men have a lower ratio than women, as well as higherphysical and verbal aggression, and higher aggressive andsociable dominance. Moreover, this finger-length ratio negativelycorrelates with physical aggression in men but not in women.
