This ratio develops in utereo based on the amount of testosterone in utero, develops at the same time as the brain. Testosterone varies an utero: most should have a longer fourth digit (ratio lower than 1). Men typically have a longer ring finger, or greater difference between the two fingers versus women. Having a lower ratio (masculine ratio) more likely to be autistic, adhd, impulsivity, alcohol abuse, psychopathy.
