Hi there. can you direct me to ay primary medical sources regarding these demarcations on the ears. I am a nurse and have been lead to believe that this is an "urban myth" by some of my medical colleagues. Are you suggesting that "Royals" have their so called demarcations in a different pattern from the hoi-polloi?
FYI, a close friend of mine (who is a doctor) did a spoof study on life lines on the hand and length of life of the "owner". he dined out on this internationally for sometime, much to his amusement.....
Can I say the royals have inherited a specific gene that shows as visible markers when inherited at birth, the answer is yes. Can I say commoners as the term goes dont inherit these markers, so far I have not found them on any commoner other than myself, but the criteria of inheriting these ancestral markings is not just been royal, but sharing the same ancestor, so one may find from that comment ones ancestors been royal or not share the same ancestor that makes up the blood line.
If you ask how do I know without proof, I have proof in my own family where one my german ancestors a hundred years or so in an old photo showed the same inherited markings. Was he of royal blood line, I dont know, but it has been suggested his linage descended from a family of the same name who married into a royal linage and her children were refered to in title as Prince and Princess.
Outside of that, I can say one of my children inherited the same from me. Does not make us part of royal linage?, No only that the gene decended down my family line as such, it expressed itself in me and others mentioned in my family.
As seen of the same decent in Nicholas, his son their aunt Olga born 1851 and first born child of the marriege of a Danish Prince who was King of Greece, that child was Constatine 1st and when born inherited the same markings spoken of.
As a Nurse Im sure you have contact with gentictist who can exaplain better than myself, for I only inherited them and found the same on a few realted royal lines past and present.
As was explained to me by a well know genetitst , what I, and the others (royals) have inhereited, is a complex inheritence that is passed down from generation to generations.
