Abstract: | Several dermatoglyphic characteristics (palmar and plantar) of different populations in Sardinian communities are reported. Graphs illustrating the dermatoglyphic behaviour of the single communities examined are presented.It can be seen that each community behaves differently from the others, even when they are geographically close together. Sexual differences appear quite accentuated in some communities while in others they are negligible. From the present study, as well as from other studies on the hereditary characteristics of Sardinians, it emerges that Sardinia is in reality subdivided into many different populations, or endogamic stocks, each presenting a particular behaviour of its own, sometimes quite different from that presented by the other populations. |
