Simian Lines (Single Transverse Palmar Crease)

Is there a thread here for 'Simian Lines', because I cannot find one?

Specifically about simian lines (aka single transverse palmar crease) - no.

We have an old thread on palm reading:

Simian lines are mentioned in relation to Stan Gooch's claims they represent evidence of Neanderthal / Cro Magnon hybridization:

Well, I'm not sure where this might go, I have a Simian Line on my left hand:

Runs in the Polish side of my family. After reading many palms, I've come across it a few times, not often.
I have only seen one person with a Simian Line in both palms, oddly enough he was also of Polish descent.
But apparently this line is a throwback to apes in our distant past?
 
Ah, I remember this. I have two, but they don't cross each other. One from one side, one from the other on my left hand, 3 on my right. What does it mean?

Also, I just found out that if I put my two hands together, one of the lines forms a smile with the other one, but the rest are totally different from each other.
 
OK - I've set up a new thread about simian lines.
 
The labels "simian crease" and "simian line" have fallen out of favor. The clinical label for the condition is "single transverse palmar crease."

It's found in around 1.5% of the population. Although most commonly found in folks exhibiting abnormal medical conditions, it is not so strongly correlated with those conditions to serve as a diagnostic clue.

The presence of a single transverse palmar crease has no medical significance. It is found in 1.5% of all persons, and though it is found at a higher frequency in persons with abnormal medical conditions, in every one of these conditions many persons do not have a single transverse palmer crease, thus it has low predictive value.

It appears, "after - looking up what exactly what 'Simian Lines' are that is," that my palm has different (Simian) fold-lines ~

The man I wrote about earlier, who has a Simian Line in both right and left palms (which I have never seen before), is very intelligent, has a good job for many years, and a family with children.
I suppose the scientists aren't always right.

Aah but does he also have a tractor tyre hanging from a rope on a tree in his garden, and throw his own poop at passers-by??

Hi Ronnie -

I believe you when you write about the person (a single individual) having the lines but being healthy. The link EG provided states that the line is commonly, but not completely, found in people with medical problems. So, how are the scientists wrong about this?

Just my opinion the scientists are not wrong, it is just not the case with everyone.
As EnolaGaia stated above,
"It's found in around 1.5% of the population. Although most commonly found in folks exhibiting abnormal medical conditions, it is not so strongly correlated with those conditions to serve as a diagnostic clue."
I have always been healthy, with no unusual maladies.
And in my case, it just runs in the family, showing up here and there. I also don't think it's any big deal, I just noticed it myself because of reading so many palms over the years.
But then I also have B positive type blood, supposedly rare. Genetics.
