Finger and palmar dermatoglyphics of a Yoruba (Nigeria) sample.

Finger and palm prints of 126 male and 55 female Yoruba are reported using both quantitative and qualitative procedures. In general, the Yoruba fit into established geographical gradients for sub-saharan African populations. Whorl frequencies on the digits are relatively low, as is the frequency of palmar patterning. Finger ridge-counts, those of males in particular are high by African standards, and much higher than the previously reported data from Nigeria. Due to the lack of data on patterns of geographic variation in total finger ridge-count, little can be made of these findings at present.

Digital dermatoglyphics of three Amerindian populations of the Brazilian Amazonia: a further test of the field theory.

Finger ridge counts of three Amerindian populations of the Brazilian Amazonia (Suruí-Paitér, Kayapó-Xikrín and Suruí-Mudjetíre) were subjected to principal component analysis in order to verify the concept of developmental field (field theory). For both sexes, a clear tripartite divisioning (digit I, digits II-III, and digits IV-V) was obtained, corroborating results previously published for other populations.
