[edit] Removed content

I removed the following unsourced statements from the article by 24.125.49.251 as they refer to living people: --apers0n 06:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Famous people with simian/transverse creases: Tony Blair (two hands - do a google IMAGE search for 'tony blair waves' to see his), three out of the last four Japanese Prime Ministers, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, John Steinbeck, Henry Miller, Seji Osawa, Nikita Kruschev, Rasputin

[edit] Preferred term?

Isn't single transverse palmar crease preferred to the rather pejorative term simian crease? I tend to do a poor job gauging whether a term is objectionable or not, so correct me if I'm wrong. But if I'm right, the redirect should go in the other direction. Cheers, David Iberri (talk) 02:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph

It would very much help the clarity of this article, to include a photograph, either of a the single transverse palmar crease alone or placed in comparison to a double creased hand. 128.192.196.200 04:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC) I was thinking the same thing ... dougmc 19:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
