Hand Analysis is not palmistry. Its study is based upon what is recorded in the hand and is measured and compared to the facts given in researched studies done by medical doctors, psychologists, universities, educationalists and character researchers completed in institutions around the world since the early nineteen hundreds. Most people consider having it done for a personal character evaluation to help them make positive career and relationship choices.
Palmistry is an ancient practice.
Hands have been of recorded interest to humanity as far back as 12,000-15,000 years ago. The prehistoric caves in Santander, Spain display hand drawings of palms with the major lines portrayed in amazing detail. In the seventeenth century many books were written that included the collected early gypsy ideas about the hand that had been handed down through verbal tradition since the early 1400s. In the eighteenth century, books were written blending some scientific information about the hand with mysticism. Since then, Palmistry was aligned with the idea that a person reads the hand with a scientific eye but spoke from the blend of science and intuition.
