Asymmetry and diversity of dermatoglyphic traits: population comparison in five endogamous groups of West Bengal, India.

Anthropologischer Anzeiger; Bericht uber die biologisch-anthropologische Literatur - 1 Dec 2005

Karmakar B, Malkin L, Kobyliansky E

Abstract excerpt

Five different endogamous populations encompassing the main social ranks in the caste hierarchy of West Bengal, India were analyzed. To compare variability in populations with contrasting ethnohistorical backgrounds, analysis of variance, Scheffe's test and cluster analysis were performed, as based on dermatoglyphic variables, namely, 22 quantitative traits and 36 indices of diversity and asymmetry. The present...
