title: Sex and lateral asymmetry of the finger ridge-count.
abstract: In a sample 719 individuals, the bimanual difference in ridge-count (right minus left) differed only slightly between the two sexes, the mean difference being 0-621 (females minus males). This is not statistically significant, but further evidence suggests that this difference may be real.
