Abstract:
Dermatoglyphic traits in an endogamous community of the village Chmelnica (North-Eastern part of Slovakia) are reported and their frequency is compared with an average Slovak population. The results of this study demonstrate the regional variability and the particular dermatoglyphic specificity of the investigated population. The most conspicuous are the increased intergender differences in the course of the main lines on the palms, their consequently higher quantitative expression by indices, and the higher quantitative values of total line numbers on fingers that was observed for females of our sample.
