A sample of the Russian population from the European part of the Russian Federation was examined for the elucidation of the relationship between finger dermatoglyphic characters and general personality traits. Special attention was given to the evaluation of dermatoglyphic phenotype of subjects in consanguineous relation with the person being identified, to anatomic localization of papillar lines and other dermatoglyphic structures of the integrated dermatoglyphic phenotype. The informative value of local dermatoglyphic characters and their combinations was assessed. Methods were proposed for the determination of common personality traits referring persons to a given kinship circle and for the reconstruction of a definite dermatoglyphic milieu.
