Not having reviewed the full list of measurements, everything other than ear protrusion mentioned seems to involve bone structure.
The ears, especially their protrusion as measured, have little or no relationship to bone structure. The other measurements with low correlation to bone structure also have low correlation across the collection of measurements.
Ear protrusion probably has some relationship to other developmental signatures, just not limb length etc.
- Nevermark 3y agoThere is another measurement for men that involves a body part without bone structure. Perhaps this report settles once and for all, what proportion of normally more visible measurements are true correlates with that measurement.
- HDMI_Cable 3y agoInteresting, it seems like then that the old wives tale—that height, foot size, or hand size—should not correlate with that measurement in men. According to the literature (RIP my search history), height is weakly correlated with it [1], while the ratio between the second digit and fourth digit is moderately correlated [2]. Weirdly enough, the 2D:4D ratio has to do with bone lengths, but is still correlated with that measurement. --- [1]: https://www.nature.com/articles/ijir201153 https://www.nature.com/articles/ijir201153 [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratio
