Variation in palmar interdigital ridge-counts among the 20 Dhangar castes of Maharashtra, India
Bilateral palmar prints of 2927 males of 20 endogamous Dhangar castes of Maharashtra, India, were studied for the distributions of a-b, b-c and c-d interdigital ridge-counts. The ridge-counts have been utilized for examining the inter-population affinities among the Dhangar castes. The distribution of a-b ridge-counts is symmetrical and normal in Dhangar castes. The distributions of b-c and c-d ridge-counts on both palms also show (nearly) normal…
Anthropometric affinities among the 20 endogamous groups of Dhangars of Maharashtra, India
Fourteen anthropometric measurements were used to examine the affinities among 20 Dhangar castes of Maharashtra, in a sample of 2437 adult males. The results are interpreted in the light of their ethnohistorical and geographical backgrounds on the one hand and with reference to the affinities observed on the basis of other biological variables, different sets of qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyphic variables and genetic markers, on the oth…
Qualitative dermatoglyphic traits as measures of population distance
Thirteen Iranian populations of diverse origin have been analyzed for qualitative dermatoglyphic features utilizing bilateral finger and palmar prints of 3,158 individuals. Bimanual differences were significant for some of the features examined, whereas sex differences were frequently nonsignificant. Interpopulational variation displayed significant heterogeneity for all of the features studied. Distance analysis and constructed dendrograms provi…
Diversity of C‐line terminations in Iranian populations
Thirteen Iranian populations of diverse origins have been analyzed for C‐line terminations, utilizing bilateral palmar prints of 3,158 individuals. Significant bimanual and male/female differences were frequently found in these populations. Interpopulational variation displayed significant heterogeneity. Distance analysis and constructed dendrograms provided separation between the populations, but the dendrograms are not in agreement with the eth…
Ridge course of the whorls
In dermatoglyphic methodology the system of gross classification of digital pattern types needs modifications. More attention should be focussed on the study of minute morphological variations among pattern types in order to understand fully the genetic mechanisms involved in pattern variations. A systematic classification to record many of the morphological peculiarities is lacking. This paper proposes a classification and methods of identificat…

A population genetic study of cleft chin in India
The paper reports data on cleft chin in 900 individuals from Kerala. The results of all surveys in India in which the cleft chin was observed have been tabulated. Gene frequency analysis has been attempted. Wide variations in gene frequencies were found for the gene cl. The major racial groups in India tend to follow definite trends. The trait varies from dimples to furrows, and is independent of age but reveals sex differences. A plea is made to…
