Their brief discussion of handedness mentioned some significance in patterns (not ridge features) appearing in the interdigital areas of the palm. Their main observation was that 'handedness' is not generally noted in prints of subjects used in research, making correlation difficult.   Gerald Clough (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted From: rrcs-71-41-149-142.sw.biz.rr.com Posted on Sunday, January 27, 2008 - 02:57 pm:        I've never heard that claimed. You might find some leads in these,if you can find the publication in the library or ERIC. Cummins, H., 1940. Fingerprints correlated with handedness. Am. J. Physic. Anthropol. 26, pp. 151–166. Cummins, H., Leche, S. and McClure, K., 1931. Bimanual variations in palmer dermatoglyphics. Am. J. Anat. 48, pp. 199–230. Coren, S. (1994). Are fingerprints a genetic marker for handedness?
