Dermatoglyphic analysis of Habans (Hutterites) from Slovakia
1Department of Anthropology, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovak Republic. Sivakova@nic.fns.uniba.sk
Abstract:
Dermatoglyphic traits have been used to assess population structure and affinities of the 91 Habans (Hutterites) and 162 Non-Haban Slovaks. In addition a comparison has been made with other Slovak population samples. Biological distances between individual populations were assessed by means of the Hiernaux distance coefficient. The results show a clear separation of the Habans from the Non-Habans in the same villages as well as from the other Slovak groups. Dermatoglyphic analysis is regarded as noncompatible with the interpretation of the genetic structure.
