Palmistry is the practice of 'reading hands', of gaining knowledge about personality, past individual
history, and likely future events by examining the shape and size of the fingers and, most important,
the lines and bumps on the palms themselves. There is some evidence that palmistry may have begun
in the Stone Age. Hand outlines can be seen in black and red pigments on the walls of the ancient
caves of Almira in Spain and in other European caves. Palmistry as it exists today probably had its
origins in ancient India long before recorded history and found its way into western Europe through
nomadic bands of Gypsies, who made contact with Europe in the 15th century.
