Adult testosterone levels even change over the course of a day, in different situations.
During adulthood, testosterone determines different characteristics (like voice and odor) than the ones it influences during development. "I think it's an excellent paper."Īfter development, testosterone drops to low levels until puberty hits and is then sustained through adulthood. "The study's main conclusion is sound, the relationship between digit ratio and perception of attractiveness fits in with what we already know," said Manning, who in his own research last year found a connection between the 2D:4D ratio and the talent for playing rugby football. They then compared these results with precise measurements of the guys' 2D:4D ratios and saw a connection between facial attractiveness and higher 2D:4D ratios. To see how this is related to attractiveness, Ferdenzi had 49 female college students judge body-odor-soaked pads, voice clips and face-only pictures of 49 male college students. Tests in rats show that increased testosterone causes higher 2D:4D ratios, and some human hormonal diseases show differences in this ratio. While the experiments required to definitively prove this correlation (sampling in utero testosterone during pregnancy, or treating some fetuses with testosterone and measuring finger length) would be unethical, many researchers believe in the connection. So the longer the ring finger is than the index, the more fetal testosterone you'd expect - and, eventually, a hotter guy facially. If these two fingers are the same length (measured from the bottom crease), the 2D:4D ratio is 1 if the ring finger is longer, the ratio is lower than 1. The index finger is more sensitive to fetal estrogen levels. The more testosterone, the longer a fetus' right ring finger grows (yes, just this one finger).
