Palmar pattern frequencies as indicators of relationships among Sardinian linguistic groups of males

Directional asymmetry of finger ridge counts in females of Sardinian linguistic groups

“…Nevertheless, the relationships among males of Sardinian linguistic groups shown by qualitative and quantitative palmar dermatoglyphic traits (Sanna, 1985(Sanna, , 1986Floris & Sanna, 1987;Sanna & Floris, 1995; are different from those found in this study. Nevertheless, the relationships among males of Sardinian linguistic groups shown by qualitative and quantitative palmar dermatoglyphic traits (Sanna, 1985(Sanna, , 1986Floris & Sanna, 1987;Sanna & Floris, 1995; are different from those found in this study.…”

“…Brief notes on the historical-linguistic backgrounds of the groups under study are included in previous studies in which we used dermatoglyphic traits as indicators of biological relationships among Sardinian linguistic groups (Sanna & Floris, 1995;Sanna et al, , 2000.…”

Interethnic comparisons of three endogamous groups of West Bengal with respect to two sets of variables

“…al., 1974;Friedlaender, 1975;Rudan, 1978;Rothhammer et al, 1979;Jantz and Chopra, 1983;Karmakar, 1984;Reddy et. On the other hand some earlier studies suggested that dermatoglyphic traits are more advantageous polygenic marker for tracing the affinities between group.s (Rife, 1954;Froehlich and Giles, 1981;Micle and Kobyliansky, 1986) and provides greater agreement with the ethnic histories as well as geographic background (Reddy and Reddy, 1992;Sanna and Floris, 1995;Floris et al, 1998) of different groups than serological or anthropometric traits. Though quite a few others did find close congruence between delanatoglyphics and other biological data (Rothhammer et al, 1977;Malhotra, 1978;Jantzs et al, 1982;Crawford and Duggirala, 1992).…”

Quantitative dermatoglyphics in males and females of five Sardinian linguistic groups

“…The names of the Sardinian linguistic groups considered in this study and their sample sizes are given in Table 1. Information about the historical-linguistic background of the Sardinian linguistic groups considered in this study can be found in previous papers (Sanna, 1985(Sanna, , 1986Sanna & Floris, 1995;Sanna et al, 2000Sanna et al, , 2001.
