Abstract

In the article, on the basis of peculiarities of indicators of finger and palmar dermatoglyphics, the analysis of reliable discriminatory models of the affiliation of practically healthy men to the southern or other administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine was constructed and conducted. In most cases, the combination of all dermatological variables has a low level of discrimination (the highest level is established between men of the southern and northern regions of Ukraine). Most often, discriminant variables between men of the southern and other regions of Ukraine are the type of pattern on the fingers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the comb account of the palm lines.

Summary. In the article, on the basis of peculiarities of indicators of nger and palmar dermatoglyphics, the analysis of reliable
discriminatory models of the afliation of practically healthy men to the southern or other administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine
was constructed and conducted. In most cases, the combination of all dermatological variables has a low level of discrimination (the
highest level is established between men of the southern and northern regions of Ukraine). Most often, discriminant variables between
men of the southern and other regions of Ukraine are the type of pattern on the ngers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the comb
account of the palm lines.
Key words: dermatoglyphic, administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine, discriminatory analysis, practically healthy men.
Introduction.
The beginning of the twenty-rst century was marked by a new outbreak of military conicts around the world,
waves of illegal migration from third countries, and an aggravation of the criminal and terrorist situation in regions where
peace and quiet until recently were. Accordingly, the police need to answer the question of identication of living persons
who deliberately conceal their place of origin and the identication of the deceased or their remains.
One of way to help answer this question is to use a dermatological study method. We should notice studies in
which the features of the skin gure were studied among representatives of various ethnic minorities, tribes and certain
regions, and the existence of relationships between the investigated parameters was proved [6, 9, 10].
Works of this nature are quite small in Ukraine [4]. And even they cannot completely satisfy the queries that are
facing us in the current situation when it is necessary to apply a cheap and simple method that will help in solving the
issue of recognizing the regional identity of the person. An optimal solution to the problem of regional identication of
18
Судово-медична експертиза, № 1
individuals would be to study healthy population from different regions of Ukraine for the presence of characteristic
indicators of nger and palmar dermatology for each region.
The purpose of the study is to construct and analyze discriminant models of the afliation of practically healthy
men to the southern or other administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine on the basis of peculiarities of indicators of
nger and palmar dermatoglyphics.
Material and methods. From the database of research center of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical
University, Vinnytsya primary dermatological gures were taken from 410 practically healthy men between the ages of
19 and 35 in the third generation of inhabitants of the respective administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine [1]: 47 from
the south (Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhian regions and Autonomous Republic of Crimea), 165 from the central
(Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Kirovograd, Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk regions), 71 - from the western (Volyn, Rivne, Lviv,
Chernivtsi, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Zakarpattia and Ivano-Frankivsk regions), 45 - from the eastern (Kharkiv, Lugansk
and Donetsk regions); 72 from the northern (Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions). Conducted, with the help of
a special questionnaire, analysis of medical and social factors, the living conditions of all those surveyed indicates a fairly
high homogeneity of samples of somatically healthy men from different regions of Ukraine [5].
Imprints of the palmar surfaces of the brushes and the individual ngers of the right and left hands were obtained
using a printing ink on a sheet of paper [2]. obtained dermatoglyphic material was analyzed by H. Cummins and Ch.
Midlo [7] methods according to T. D. Gladkova [2].
The construction of discriminant models of the possible assignment of men to the eastern or other regions of Ukraine,
based on the characteristics of dermatological indicators, is carried out in the licensed package «STATISTICA 6.1».
Results and its discussion. When taking into account indicators of nger and palmar dermatoglyphics,
discriminatory function covers 81.6% of practically healthy men from the southern and central regions of Ukraine. Among
practically healthy men in the southern and central regions of Ukraine, discriminant variables are the type of the 4 right
hand nger pattern (TF_R4), the asymmetry of the index of the main palmar lines (RL_ІК), comb count of 1 nger of the
left hand (FRC_L1), the asymmetry of the comb account of 5 nger (RL_FRC5), type 5 left hand nger pattern (TF_L5)
and asymmetry of comb account line a-b (RL_AB) (Table 1). Moreover, the greatest contribution to discrimination is
the type of pattern has 4 nger of the right hand. All other discriminatory variables have a less signicant but credible
single effect on discriminating between aggregates. In general, the totality of all variables is insignicant (Wilkes Lambda
statistics = 0.839; F = 6.336; p <0.001) discrimination between men from the southern and central regions of Ukraine (see
Table 1).
With the help of established classication indices (Df) one can predict the relevance of indicators to «typical» for
men of the south or «typical» for men in the central regions of Ukraine. Denition of Df is given in the form of equations,
where the attribution to men of the southern region of Ukraine is possible at a value of Df close to 10.52, and to men of
the central region of Ukraine - with the value of Df, close to 12.48:
Df (for men of the southern region of Ukraine) = TF_R4 × 2,187 + RL_IK × 0,412 + FRC_L1 × 0,291 + RL_FRC5
× 0,094 + TF_L5 × 2,953 – RL_AB × 0,074 – 10,52;
Df (for men of the central region of Ukraine) = TF_R4 × 2,737 + RL_IK × 0,128 + FRC_L1 × 0,352 + RL_FRC5
× 0,220 + TF_L5 × 3,414 + RL_AB × 0,005 – 12,48.

of Ukraine discriminant variable is the asymmetry comb count line a-b (RL_AB), type the pattern of the 4 nger of the
right hand (TF_R4), asymmetry comb count line b-c (RL_VS) and the pattern on the hypothenar of right hand (HIP_R)
(Table 2). Moreover, the asymmetry of the comb account of the line a-b make largest contributor to discrimination. All
other discriminatory variables have a less signicant but credible single effect on discriminating between aggregates. In
general, the set of all variables has small (statistics Wilks lambda = 0,860; F = 4,951; p <0.01) discrimination between
men from the southern and western regions of Ukraine (see Table. 2).
The classication indices (Df) for men from the southern and western regions of Ukraine, depending on the
characteristics of nger and palm dermatoglyphics, have the form of the following equations:
Df (for men of the southern region of Ukraine) = –RL_AB × 0,065 + TF_R4 × 2,278 + RL_BC ×
0,139 + HIP_R × 6,665 – 8,063;

With consideration the index of nger and palmar dermatoglyphics, the discriminatory function covers 70.7%
of practically healthy men from the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine. Among practically healthy men from the
southern and eastern regions of Ukraine, discriminant variables are the comb count of the third nger of the left hand
(FRC_L3), the type of the 1 right hand nger pattern (TF_R1), the value of the right hand angle dat (DAT_R) and the
asymmetry of the pattern on the tenar (RL_TEN) (Table 3). Moreover, the greatest contribution to discrimination is the
comb account of the 3 nger of the left hand. All other discriminatory variables have less signicant, but in the majority
of cases, a solid single effect on discrimination between aggregates (with the exception of the asymmetry of the pattern
on the tenar). In general, the totality of all variables is negligible (Wilkes Lambda statistics = 0,809; F = 5,127; p <0,001)
discrimination between men from the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine (see Table 3).
Table 3
Report of discriminatory analysis in practically healthy men of southern and eastern regions of Ukraine in dependence on
features of indicators of nger and palmar dermatoglyphics
The classication indices (Df) for men from the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine, depending on the
characteristics of nger and palm dermatoglyphics, have the form of the following equations:
Df (for men of the southern region of Ukraine) = FRC_L3 × 0,013 + TF_R1 × 2,805 + DAT_R × 1,290 + RL_TEN
× 21,75 – 52,26;
Df (for men of the eastern region of Ukraine) = FRC_L3 × 0,093 + TF_R1 × 2,365 + DAT_R × 1,362 + RL_TEN
× 23,58 – 58,10.
In previous studies [8] it was proved that, taking into account the indicators of nger and palmar dermatoglyphics,
the discriminatory function covers 80.9% of practically healthy men from the southern and northern regions of Ukraine.
Between practically healthy men of these groups, discriminant variables are the asymmetry of the comb account line a-b
(RL_AB), the type of the pattern 4 thumb of the right hand nger (TF_R4), the comb count of 3 nger of the right hand
(FRC_R3), the asymmetry of the comb account of the line c-d (RL_СD), the asymmetry of the magnitude of the angle
atb (RL_AТB), the left hand btc angle (BTC_L) and the frequency of the intermediate axial three-radius of the left palm
(T1_R), while the largest contribution to discrimination make the asymmetry of the comb account of the a-b line. All
other discriminatory variables have a less signicant but credible single effect on discriminating between aggregates.
In general, the totality of all variables is almost average (Wilks Lambda statistics = 0.665; F = 7.310; p <0.001) of
discrimination between men from the southern and northern regions of Ukraine.

In determining the signicance of all discriminatory functions using the criterion χ2 it is established that a reliable
interpretation of the classication indices can be found between practically healthy men of the eastern and other regions
of Ukraine.
Comparing the results we obtained with the results of discriminant analysis in the research of N.M. Kozan [3], it
should be noted that we have signicantly higher values of Wilks’ Lambda statistics and, accordingly, lower levels of
discrimination due to the entry into different regions of Ukraine different ethnic groups.
Conclusion
1. The highest level of discrimination was established with the northern region based on the specicity of the
dermatological indicators of reliable discriminant models of the afliation of virtually healthy men to the southern or
other administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine.
2. The most commonly discriminatory variables between men in the southern and other regions of Ukraine are the
type of pattern on the ngers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the comb account of the palm lines.
Important for the further perspective is the factorial analysis of peculiarities of nger and palm dermatoglyphic
indices for the inclusion of virtually healthy men in different administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine.

ВСТУП
У 2014 році, у зв’язку з початком трагічних подій в Донецькій та Луганській областях, судово-медична
експертиза в Україні зіткнулась з надходженням до бюро надзвичайно великої кількості трупів з важкою трав-
мою, нерідко зі значним руйнуванням та навіть фрагментуванням тіл загиблих. При цьому, в суттєвій кількості
випадків це були трупи, доставлені з місць масової загибелі людей при відсутності будь-яких первинних даних
про особу загиблого. Зрозуміло, що за цих обставин набувають великого значення питання судово-медичної
ідентифікації невстановлених трупів та останків людини, взаємодії між різними підрозділами та службами, як
експертного так і іншого спрямування, для забезпечення оптимізації експертної роботи, безперервності передачі
інформації, що може допомогти у встановленні осіб загиблих, тощо [1-5].
Мета та матеріали дослідження: на основі аналізу архівного матеріалу, звітів обласних бюро судово-
медичної експертизи, літературних джерел та існуючої нормативно-правової бази провести статистичний аналіз
судово-медичних експертиз проведених у відношенні осіб, що загинули внаслідок подій на сході України та виз-
начити проблемні питання, що на даний час постають при судово-медичній експертизі трупів у випадках масової
загибелі людей в умовах бойових дій та можливі шляхи їх вирішення.
Метою дослідження було проведення аналізу проведеної ідентифікації трупів у випадках масової загибелі
людей внаслідок бойових дій на прикладі антитерористичної операції на сході України.
РЕЗУЛЬТАТИ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ТА ЇХ ОБГОВОРЕННЯ. З початку 2014 року до середини грудня
2017 року в бюро судово-медичної експертизи України загалом було проведено 4622 експертиз трупів та останків
осіб, смерть яких була пов’язаною з подіями на сході України. При цьому в 2014 році було виконано 2269, в
2015 році – 1455, в 2016 році – 557, а в 2017 році – 341 експертизу трупів, доставлених з зони антитерористичної
операції. Протягом 2014-2017 року проведено розтини щонайменше 825 цивільних громадян, з них 28 дітей
та підлітків, що загинули внаслідок подій в Луганській та Донецькій областях. Жертвами конфлікту також
стали 16 іноземних громадян, в тому числі працівники Міжнародного комітету червоного хреста та ОБСЄ.
... The authors also built models for identifying the regional affiliation of individuals. The most frequently discriminating variables between men, residents of northern and other regions of Ukraine were the type of pattern on the fingers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the ridge count of lines a-b and c-d; for men living in southern and other regions of Ukraine, the type of pattern on the fingers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the ridge count of the palmar lines; and among male residents of the central, western or eastern regions of Ukraine, the type of pattern on the fingers of the left hand [10,11,12,13,14]. ...

Using a constitutional approach to predict the onset of a disease can be key not only to solving the problem of late-stage lifestyle modification therapy but also to understanding the deep, seemingly incomprehensible links between organs and body structure. The aim of the study was to establish and analyze the differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or psoriatic men of different somatotypes depending on the severity of the disease. Anthropo-somatotypological examination was performed on Ukrainian men (aged 22 to 35 years) with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe). A clinical assessment of the severity and area of psoriatic lesions was performed using the PASI index. Anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group was taken from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical processing of the obtained results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. In patients with mild and severe psoriasis, men of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes in comparison with healthy men of the corresponding somatotypes, higher values of almost all total (in the endo-mesomorphs with severe disease), transverse (except for shoulder width) and lateral body size (except endo-mesomorphs with severe disease) was found. In patients with psoriasis, men of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with a mild course of the disease found greater than in patients with a similar course men of mesomorphic somatotype, body weight, length and surface area, height of acromial and finger anthropometric points, and transverse middle thoracic diameters and anteroposterior middle thoracic diameter; and in patients with psoriasis men of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with a severe course of the disease – only greater values than in patients with a similar course of the disease men of mesomorphic somatotype, interspinous distance. When comparing the total, longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the body between men with psoriasis of the corresponding somatotypes, in representatives of the mesomorphic somatotype with a mild course of the disease found greater than with severe course, body length values and lower – posterior middle thoracic diameter. The revealed differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or patients with mild or severe psoriasis Ukrainian men of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes provide an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of the use of body structure and size to identify risk groups psoriasis.
... The dermatoglyphic method along with the descriptive method of research is the most widespread and most often applied in cases of need of identification of persons. This method has become especially popular as a result of its cheapness and simplicity, and at the same time considerable informativeness, allowing not only to identify a particular person, but also his regional affiliation [13,23]. Thus, for the male population of Ukraine it is established that such indicators as Cummins index, size of palm angles, localization and saturation of the palm with patterns, length of c-t segment and presence/absence of additional axial triradii have high value for regional differentiation [14]. ...

The identification of missing persons in armed conflict and with mass casualties in emergencies has its own characteristics and requires an integrated approach to increase accuracy and objectivity. The aim of the study justification of the appropriateness of an integrated approach in identifying persons missing in an armed conflict with mass casualties. In the work, archival materials of forensic medical examinations of the commemorative institution “Dnipropetrovsk Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination” were used regarding those who died during the armed conflict with mass casualties in eastern Ukraine during 2014-2019. Research methods: anthropometric, morphometric, photographic, radiological, forensic methods, computer simulation method, molecular genetic, statistic. The article sets out the domestic experience of increasing the objectivity and accuracy of identifying missing persons and determining the characteristics of bodily injuries and traumatic factors through an integrated approach using anthropometric, morphometric, photographic, radiological, molecular genetics and medical and criminalistics methods and in situations of armed conflict with mass casualties. However, the presence of only a modern morgue and the latest equipment in the laboratory department of the forensic medical examination bureau is not a guarantee of a successful examination to identify the deceased. As the experience of different countries in the case of mass natural and man-made disasters shows – the key element is the correct and consistent organization of research. The experience of conducting identification studies in Ukraine of missing persons in an armed conflict with mass casualties of people indicates the appropriateness of applying an integrated approach that improves the objectivity and accuracy of the study.

The study is devoted to the dermatoglyphic substantiation of the criteria for determining the belonging of practically healthy men aged 19-35 years to one or another administrative-territorial region of Ukraine and the relationship of indexes of finger and palmar dermatoglyphics with indicators of personality characteristics. For the first time, qualitative and quantitative features of finger and palmar dermatoglyphics of practically healthy men in the whole country have been established and the contribution of each of the 5 territorial-administrative regions of Ukraine to the general phenotypical picture of dermatoglyphics of the male population of Ukraine, reflecting the formation of regional gene pools and the contribution of each nation, has been determined. It is demonstrated that the basic genetic landscape of the male gene pool of Ukraine, according to finger dermatoglyphics, form the central and northern regions of the country, and according to the palmar dermatoglyphics – quantitative indicators of the central and western regions and qualitative indicators of the southern and northern regions. At the same time, the association of the percentage distribution of the contribution of individual administrative-territorial regions in the overall picture of finger (but not palmar) dermatoglyphics of the country with the indices of inbreeding calculated by surnames Gorpinchenko M. and Atramentova L. (2015) is established. Men's dermatoglyphics were also identified individually for each of the five administrative-territorial regions, allowing them to identify a person's regional identity. It has been established that 22.22 % of finger dermatoglyphic indices are attributed to a person in the central or southern regions of the country; central or eastern – 20.37 %; central or western – 15.74 %; north or south – 17.59 %; north or west – 16.67 %; northern or eastern – 15.74 %; western or eastern and southern or eastern – 12.04 %. Finger dermatoglyphics does not differentiate administrative-territorial local groups of men between regions: north and center and south and west. High taxonomic value for intrapopulation differentiation of the local level have: types of patterns with high intensity of ridge formation and capacity of the pattern, especially III and IV fingers of the right hand and I and II fingers of the left hand. The administrative-territorial features of the palmar dermatoglyphics of men from regions with high heterogeneity of features are described by 20.0 % of indicators as criteria for a person's identity in the central or eastern regions; 16.9 % of indicators – to the central or northern and northern or western ones; 15.4 % of indicators – to the western or eastern regions of Ukraine. The complex of features of palmar dermatoglyphics that distinguishes men of the central region from the east includes the pattern of hypotenar, tenor, I and II of the interdigital space, the size of the dat angle, the Cummins index, additional axial triradius; central from the north – the pattern of hypotenar, tenor and IV interdigital space, the size of the angles atb and ctd, and the ridge count c-d; north from the west – pattern of the II interdigital space, additional axial triradius, angle сtd size and ridge count c-d; west from east – hypotenar pattern, additional axial triradius, size of angles atd, atb and dat, length of segment c-t. Men from the northern and eastern (6.2 % indicators), southern and western (6.2 % indicators) and southern and eastern (7.7 % indicators) regions of Ukraine show significant affinity according to palmar dermatoglyphics. Among the features of palmar dermatoglyphics, the following dermatoglyphic complexes of features have a high taxonomic value for the intra-population differentiation of regions with low heterogeneity: for the northern and eastern ones – the pattern of the II interdigital space, the additional axial triradius and the size of the angle atd; south and west – hypotenar pattern and ridge count a-b; south and east – the size of the palm angles atd and dat, the length of the segment c-t. In general, among the features of palmar dermatoglyphics, high taxonomic value for intra-population differentiation of the local level have: localization and saturation of palm patterns, size of palm angles, presence/absence of additional axial triradius, length of segment c-t, Cummins index. For the first time, reliable discriminatory models of belonging practically healthy men to a certain administrative-territorial region of Ukraine have been constructed which, depending on the features of indexes of finger and palmar dermatoglyphics, which correctly cover representatives of these regions from 67.8 to 82.9 % of cases and, in most cases, have slight discrimination level (Wilks lambda statistics range from 0.747 to 0.879). The highest levels of discrimination were found between northern and southern men (Wilkes lambda statistics equal to 0.665), northern and eastern (Wilks lambda statistics equal to 0.658), and western and eastern (Wilks lambda statistics equal to 0.640) regions of Ukraine. The most common discriminant variables between men in northern and other regions of Ukraine are the type of pattern on the fingers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the ridge count of lines a-b and c-d; between men of southern and other regions of Ukraine – the type of pattern on the fingers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the ridge count of the palmar lines; and between the men of the central, western or eastern regions of Ukraine, the type of pattern on the fingers of the left hand. For the first time the peculiarities of reliable, mostly single, direct and reverse weak forces, correlations between indices of personality characteristics and dermatoglyphic indices of practically healthy men of Ukraine were established. It is shown that the multiple nature of significant correlations is observed only between the majority of indicators of the Rotter subjective control scale and the presence of a pattern on the tenor of the corresponding palm (on the right hand r = 0.31 – 0.37; on the left hand r = 0.22 – 0.29); almost half of the indicators of the Rotter subjective scale and pattern type asymmetry on the first finger (r = 0.23 – 0.27); Lusher gray index, and ridge count of right hand I, III, and IV fingers and left hand I, II, fingers, total ridge count, and left hand delta index (r = -0.23 – -0.28). For the first time, using factor analysis, the main factors that have a significant influence on the personality traits of practically healthy Ukrainian men are identified – the "finger ridge count" (which includes virtually all the finger ridge count and delta index of both hands; the proportion of variance is 13.22 %) and the "magnitude of the atd angle" (which includes the magnitude of the atd angle on both hands; the proportion of variance is 10.66 %). The analysis of the obtained relationships showed that with increasing indicators of the factor "ridge count of the fingers" the degree of probability of growth of indicators of neuroticism according to Eysenck, situational (reactive) and personal anxiety according to Spielberger, accentuation of the character of the emotional and excitable types according to Shmishek, subjective control in the field of health and illness according to Rotter, black and gray color according to Luser decreases, and indicators of accentuation of the character of the anxious and demonstrative types by Shmishek, general internals and the level of subjective control in the field of education (professional) relationship by Rotter, blue and blue-green color by Luscher – increases; with increasing factor "magnitude of atd angle" the degree of probability of growth of indicators of neuroticism according to Eysenck, situational (reactive) and personal anxiety according to Spielberger, accentuation of the character of the emotional, anxious and arousing types by Shmishek, blue color according to Luscher increases, and indicators of accentuation of the character of the demonstrative type according to Shmishek, the general internality level of subjective control, in the field of educational (professional) relations and in the field of health and illness according to Rotter, blue-green, black and gray color according to Lucer – decreases.

In the article, the analysis of discriminatory models of the affiliation of practically healthy men to the northern or other administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine on the basis of peculiarities of finger and palmar dermatologic indices was constructed and analyzed. The highest level of discrimination was found among the men of the northern and southern and northern and eastern regions of Ukraine. Most often discriminant variables between men of the northern and other regions of Ukraine are the type of pattern on the fingers of the right hand and the asymmetry of the comb account of the lines a-b and c-d. The largest contribution to discrimination between northern and other administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine has the asymmetry of the comb account of the lines a-b and c-d.

Dermatoglyphic prints were collected from 800 inhabitants of Dukagjin valley in Kosovo. The sample consisted of two ethnically different sub-populations who refer themselves as Albanians (N = 400) and Turks (N = 400). Qualitative analysis of prints concerned the frequency of the patterns on fingers (arch, ulnar and radial loop, whorl, accidental whorl) and on palms (Thenar and I, II, III, and IV interdigital area and the hypothenar, main line index, and the axial "t" triradius position). As was expected due to previous study of quantitative dermatoglyphic traits, in the same population the Alba-nians and Turks showed to be significantly different in most explored qualitative dermatoglyphic variables. Found differences indicated that the reproductive isolation between the Albanian and Turkish population in Kosovo is substantial, despite the fact that those two ethnic sub-populations live in the close vicinity through several centuries.

Completion of a survey of dermatoglyphic variables for all ethnic groups in an ethnically diverse country like China is a huge research project, and an achievement that anthropological and dermatoglyphic scholars in the country could once only dream of. However, through the endeavors of scientists in China over the last 30 years, the dream has become reality. This paper reports the results of a comprehensive analysis of dermatoglyphics from all ethnic groups in China. Using cluster analysis and principal component analysis of dermatoglyphics, it has been found that Chinese populations can be generally divided into a southern group and a northern group. Furthermore, there has been considerable debate about the origins of many Chinese populations and about proper assignment of these peoples to larger ethnic groups. In this paper, we suggest that dermatoglyphic data can inform these debates by helping to classify a Chinese population as a northern or southern group, using selected reference populations and quantitative methods. This study is the first to assemble and investigate dermatoglyphics from all 56 Chinese ethnic groups. It is fortunate that data on population dermatoglyphics, a field of physical anthropology, have now been collected for all 56 Chinese ethnic groups, because intermarriage between individuals from different Chinese ethnic groups occurs more frequently in recent times, making population dermatoglyphic research an ever more challenging field of inquiry.

The present study reports inbreeding effects on mean palmar dermatoglyphic characteristics: triradial count on palm, maximal atd angle, adt angle, td ridge count, ab ridge count, main line index (MLI) and ab ridge breadth. Samples were drawn from adult males belonging to three endogamous sections representing Hindu caste Telaga of Kharagpur (West Midnapore), Ansari Muslims of Nandigram (East Midnapore) and Sheik-Sunni Muslims of Braddhaman in West Bengal, India. Consistent trend of higher mean triradial number, adt angle, and lower mean td ridge count, ab ridge count, and ab ridge breadth was observed in inbred sections compared to their non-inbred relatives in three social groups.
