Men whose index fingers are longer than their ring, or fourth, fingers run a significantly lower risk of prostate cancer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They’re also likely homosexual or effeminate or no sex drive. or they are just very young. A short index finger and a long ring finger are secondary characteristics resulting from testosterone. In extreme cases, even the pinky finger is enlarged and as long as the index finger.

The thumb is the first finger to grow and to stop growing, followed by the index finger, and so on down the line until the pinky is the last to stop growing. As a small child, the strongest finger on your hand is your thumb. Then a little older, your index finger becomes the strongest. By adulthood, males have the middle finger the strongest on their hand and usually by middle age the ring finger becomes tied with the middle in terms of strength. Often older men will have the ring finger the strongest on their hand.

If we could live long enough, Womens’ hands would get there eventually but it would take twice as long or longer.

I would say my ring finger is slightly stronger than my middle finger and I’m only middle aged. They are so much stronger than my thumb and index finger nowdays I don’t even use thumbs and index fingers when I need to grip something tight.

If you wanna see what our hands would look like(proportionwise) if we lived to be 500years, take a look at the toes of a frog. It wouldn’t surprise me if a frog’s toes grow in the same sequence as human fingers do.

Seriously, your post is absolutely fascinating. I’m a drum student (new to it at middle age) and finger and hand strength is critical. Where did you learn all this, and where can I learn more?

It makes me want to experiment withe different ways to hold the drumsticks.
