Yes, to an extent. Reading palms relies more on science and human behavior rather than a mystical ability.
Lines on one's hands are caused by the way one shapes his hand. For instance, when one is angry, he will tense up his hand more. This is applied to several other concepts, such as love, lust, stress, happiness, etc. The more a person is stressed, a certain line with become more prominent as he holds his hands in that position longer. The same goes for the others. The "lifeline", while not completely accurate, does allot some insight to the longevity of one's life, as it stress levels can be calculated.
Of course, men and women hold their hands differently. For instance, men are more likely to make a fist when angry or threatened, while women are more passive. An experienced palm reader will know the differences in genders and will be able to determine it much better than a novice. Be sure to check the reader's reputation beforehand, and remember: you get what you pay for.
