    Summary

    This study analyzed palmar creases in Spanish individuals, finding significant sexual dimorphism but no bimanual differences. The simian crease frequency aligns with European population variability.

    Area of Science:

    • Anthropology
    • Human Genetics
    • Dermatoglyphics

    Background:

    • Palmar creases are unique dermatoglyphic patterns.
    • Previous studies have indicated variations across populations and sexes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate palmar crease patterns in a Spanish population.
    • To identify potential sexual dimorphism and compare findings with other European groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of palmar creases in 513 females and 403 males from Spain.
    • Utilized the Bali & Chaube (1971) methodology.
    • Comparison with German male series regarding the open M type (Tillner).

    Main Results:

    • No statistically significant bimanual differences were observed.
    • A distinct sexual dimorphism in palmar crease patterns was identified.
    • The frequency of the simian crease in the Spanish sample is consistent with European population variability.
    • No statistical differences were found when comparing the incidence of the open M type with German male series, but differences were noted in female series.

    Conclusions:

    • Palmar crease patterns exhibit sexual dimorphism in the Spanish population.
    • The observed frequencies of specific palmar creases, like the simian crease, are within the expected range for European populations.
    • Findings contribute to understanding dermatoglyphic diversity in humans.
