A simian line is the singular horizontal crease on the palm created by the merging of the head line and the heart line. It’s not palmistry, my love. It’s dermatoglyphics, psychodiagnostic chirology and physiology. Yes, I had to throw you those omg!hyphaluting!scientific words so I won’t sound so new age.
Because the line is a combination of the heart and the head, it is believed that bearers find it difficult to separate thoughts from emotions. They are overly-focused to the extent of excluding everything else. It is interesting to note, however, that half the individuals with Downe Syndrome have simian lines. Pwned.
Characteristics of “simian-lined people”
1. Intense. So much so that people often assume that they’re angry.
2. Complex, forceful, goal-oriented, and egocentric. LOL.

I have a simian line on my right hand.I got a great link which talks a lot about the simian line. http://www.jenniferboyer.com/SimianlineFacts.html . It is commonly said that the simian line is associated with Down’s syndrome. What I think is that if you have a simian line and no Down’s syndrome you do have some of the physical traits of a person afflicted by it. But as far as your cognitive abilities are concerned, you go to the other extreme; you are very very intelligent. The two most common things that I have discovered about Simian’s (both normal and the ones affected by Down’s syndrome) is that they are very keen observers and also excel to a very high degree in sports,arts,music,theatre,acting and the like.

Hello ‘Funny Sexy’,
Interesting post, you mentioned Arnold Holtzman’s psychodiagnostich chirology – actually recently I wrote a review of his work, at:
http://www.handresearch.com/news/psychodiagnostic-chirology.htm
However, have you might also be interested in my review of the simian line, at:
http://www.handresearch.com/news/the-simian-line-a-notorious-hand-crease.htm
Especially, because the article describes a bit about the psychology behind the simian line, and a high frequency of simian lines in Asian people!!
I hope you like it!
Best wishes from The Netherlands,

However, you might also be interested to take a look at my review of the simian line. My article presents some psychological qualities related to the simian line, and I also describe why the simian line is more often observed in Asian people!!
