Simian Line Forum

Welcome to the Simian Line Forum - A place to discuss and learn more about the "single transverse palmar crease".

Introduction:
On most people's hands, there are 2 distinct horizontal lines crossing the palm. (In palmistry, the one closest to the fingers is called the "line of heart", and the lower one is the "line of head".) Hands with the simian crease have a single line running straight across the entire palm. You can find an image and article at:
