Evidence for a major gene effect in the distributions of digital ridge counts
Previous attempts to isolate major gene effects in digital dermatoglyphics have been approached from two main directions. One has been concerned with analysing the components of total ridge count (TRC) distributions and examining various parameters of these distributions. The other has concentrated on the inheritance of various combinations of digital patterns. This study is primarily concerned with the shape of TRC and digital ridge count distri…
The morphology of the hypothenar radial arch
Hypothenar patterns of 283 male and 320 female Faroe Islanders were classified according to the topological system of Penrose and Loesch (1970). Radial arches, individually specified according to their associated A-line configurations, were present at high frequencies (over 5.6%) in individuals of both sexes. Radial arches were about five times more frequent on right hands than on left. The occurrence of two main A-line types reported by Grace (1…
A developmental approach to the interpretation of dermatoglyphic data from Papua New Guinea and the Faroe Islands
This study examines the influence of pattern intensity index (PII) on total ridge count (TRC) and the mean ridge count of whorls and ulnar loops. The date are principally finger print ridge counts and pattern types of 1005 Papua New Guineans (608 Waskia speakers from Karkar Island and 397 Yagaria speakers for Lufa sub District). In addition, in order to test whether some of the findings also apply to a dermatoglyphically very different population…
Skin colour of the Ainu of Hidaka, Hokkaido, Northern Japan
Quantitative data on skin colour variation are presented for Ainu of the Hidaka District, Hokkaido. Measurements of upper arm reflectance were taken using 8 filters of an EEL reflectance spectrophotometer. The results are compared with those published for the Japanese by Hulse (1976). Sexual dimorphism is well marked in both populations and among the Ainu appears to be due largely to clothing habits. There is no statistical evidence for an associ…
Canonical analysis of facial variation
Although the face is one of the most variable parts of the human physique, there is little recent work on this region. Consequently, there is a need for an appraisal of the variation, new thinking as regards the methodology of recording and analysis, and further thought as to the possible applications of such methods. The present exploratory study uses information derived from standardized photographs, to try to elucidate the affinities—and thus …
Biosocial aspects of Ainu hirsuteness
There are as yet few studies of body hair variation in man. Of all human populations, the Ainu of Japan are most famous for their alleged hirsuteness, and the history of this somewhat controversial subject is reviewed. Data are presented on chest, back and facial hair pattern and quantity in a sample of Ainu and Ainu/Japanese hybrids, resulting initially from field work by the Cambridge Expedition to Northern Japan in 1964. Methodological problem…
