Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of epidermal ridges and
their configurations on the palmar region of hand and fingers and
plantar region of foot and toes. The term dermatoglyphics was
coined by Cummins and Midloo 1926 and was derived from Greek words
'derma' means skin and 'glyphics' means carvings. Ridges are
genetically determined therefore dermatoglyphics is useful in
anthropological, medico legal & genetic studies and is accepted
as a simple & inexpensive method for deciding whether a patient
has a particular genetic disorder or not. This science is both old
and young. After extensive studies researchers have recently found
that the palm print is somewhat related with nationality,
geological distribution, character, temperament, health,
intelligence and heredity etc. The aim of this work was the
determination of frequencies of each dermatoglyphics category on
the human palm and an analysis of eventual differences between the
both sex populations. This book gives an insight and systematic
overview on the use of systematic, descriptive, qualitative and
quantitative methods has proven effective in identifying
context-specific characteristics of dermatoglyphics.
