Craniofacial Feminization, Social Tolerance, and the Origins of Behavioral Modernity (2014, background): “…ratio of the lengths of the second to fourth digits (2D:4D) can be used as an inverse measure of fetal testosterone levels (Lutchmaya et al. 2004; Zheng and Cohn 2011), which in turn helps in identifying the craniofacial morphological consequences of prenatal versus adolescent exposure to…”
Approach–Avoidance versus Dominance–Submissiveness: A Multilevel Neural Framework on How Testosterone Promotes Social Status (2013, background): “Hypothetically, individuals who have been prenatally primed by estradiol (high 2D:4D) might metabolize more testosterone into estradiol (Zheng & Cohn, 2011), and estradiol action on estrogen receptors might underlie the prosocial effects testosterone has in this group (van Honk et al., 2012).”
Biology and Selection into Entrepreneurship—The Relevance of Prenatal Testosterone Exposure (2016, background): “The right-hand 2D:4D measure is robustly found to be more strongly affected by prenatal testosterone than the left-hand ratio (Hönekopp & Watson, 2010; Lutchmaya, Baron-Cohen, Raggatt, Knickmeyer, & Manning, 2004; Zheng & Cohn, 2011).”
