I was taught in high school that the ability to form the "Vulcan salute"
(a "V" formed between the ring and middle finger) is actually genetic. I know
different people who physically cannot do this, can only do it with one hand
or can do it easily with both. Is it genetics or simply motor skill?
Can't sleep at night not knowing... : ) Thanks!
