You Know What They Say About Big Hands...

Interesting little tidbit here about correlation between "2D:4D" finger ratio and promiscuity. Supposedly, if humans evolved from distinct primate ancestors (Neanderthals and Australopithicus for example), their finger size ratios may be an indicator of their lineage, and they may be carrying some of the promiscuity traits of their ancestors. Neanderthals had longer "ring fingers" (4D) than "index fingers" (2D) and, as the modern day use of their name implies, were not particularly burdened with sensitivity in satisfying their primal urges. Whereas Australopithicus (descendants of that sweet little ancient skull named "Lucy") have shorter 4Ds than 2Ds. Perhaps that explains why women insist on men wearing nutrient-blocking metallic constriction bands on their 4Ds. Clearly, as the photo shows, they don't always work.
