The results of this study highlight the need for future developmental studies of 2D:4D ratios in order to determine not only their stability and predictive value, but also to discern the mechanism connecting prenatal androgen exposure, 2D-3D ratios, and behavioral outcomes.

Children’s 2D:4D was measured on both hands on four occasions from early infancy to early childhood providing the rare possibility to test the temporal stability of the sex difference and shows the importance of both biological and social influences on sex-typed play behavior.

The findings support the idea that high levels of prenatal T in natal females and low levels inNatal males play a part in the etiology of GD, and add to the evidence demonstrating the convergent validity of 2D:4D as a marker of prenatalT effects.

The first report of sexually-dimorphic 2D:4D ratio in New World monkeys is reported, and the results support a growing literature suggesting prenatal sex hormones may modulate offspring 2D-3D ratio.
