34、d 2D4D ratio is lower than 1.In females,the two fingers are morelikely to be the same length.Because of this sex differences,some scientists believe that a lowratio could be a marker for higher prenatal hormone(产前激素)levels,although its not clearhow the hormone might influence finger development.The

39、so comparable levels wouldhave very different meanings depending on the sex of the individual.And the timing ofhormone surges is as important as levels.Nevertheless,Brosnan believes finger measurements might be useful for predicting cognitiveabilitiesalthough he acknowledges that“we are not suggesti

40、ng that finger lengthmeasurements could replace SAT tests”.Othe rs are more cautious,pointing out that scientistsstill have not confirmed that finger ratio is a reliable marker for prenatal hormone levels.32.What can we learn from the first paragraph?AScientists never show interest in peoples finger
