What do your body parts say about you?

I am a strong believer that our facial and body features are not randomly created by nature–that each one develops due to influences from different sources (genes, chemicals, hormones, etc) while we are in the womb.  I think that is a common belief supported by science, though not deeply understood yet.  But I also believe that each of these factors affects not only how we will look, but how we act.

For example, I can tell you that most people with full lips are more compassionate than the average person. Its not 100% predictive as other features can dominate and rule this out, but it is a strong indicator.  I have no doubt there will be scientific support for this in the future.  Sadly, we are in the infancy stages of understanding the physical/behavioral connection.

Now imagine if we made a deeper correlation.  If you have this feature, we know it will cause you this illness.

For example, if you have a crease in your earlobe, you will have a higher risk for heart disease.

Would that surprise you?

It doesn’t surprise me and yes, that is exactly where science is going.

Check this out!

I predict in the future, a doctor will map out our faces as children and will predict our personalities, behavior and high risk illnesses by simply looking at our bodies.

Imagine getting a report back detailing these elements about your child!

Oh how cool it would be to see where the science is in 1000 years!!
