DIGITAL AND PALMAR DERMATOGLYPHICS IN THE LOWLAND RAJPUTS OF PUNJAB | BIONATURE

Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, dermatoglyphic data for 73 male and 27 female Lowland Rajputs of Punjab is provided. This sample has a high frequency of digital ulnar-loops interdigital region IV palmar patterns and axial triradius t. The mainline formula 11.9.7 is used the most. The C mainline has a high incidence of being either aborted or missing. Females have a greater mean pattern intensity index and a lower value for Dankmeijer's index than males, indicating that there are significant gender disparities in the data. The mean total ridge count value for males is 139.51 (SD 46.44), whereas the figure for females is 137.37. (SD 40.71). On the palms, the right palm has the greatest mean a-b ridge count value (39.30 (SD 5.84) in males while the left palm has the highest mean a-b ridge count value (39.60 (SD 3.58) in females. For the digital ridge counts, correlation matrices were also calculated. In light of known data on other Indian communities, little can be said about these findings.
