The bilateral palmar prints of 3,158 females and males from 13 Iranian populations of diverse origins were analyzed to see how well topological palmar pattern frequencies reflect population distances. The results showed bimanual variation among most of the populations studied. Sex variation showed significant differences among all of the populations studied. Distance analysis and constructed dendrograms showed separation between the populations studied. These distances were frequently in agreement with the known ethnohistoric background of the populations studied. The male data gave better results. It appears that topological palmar patterns are a better indicator of population distance than topological finger patterns.
对来自13个不同来源的伊朗人群的3158名女性和男性的双侧掌纹进行了分析，以观察拓扑掌纹模式频率在多大程度上反映了人群间的差异。结果显示，在大多数研究人群中存在双手差异。性别差异在所有研究人群中均显示出显著差异。距离分析和构建的树状图显示了所研究人群之间的差异。这些差异通常与所研究人群已知的民族历史背景一致。男性数据给出了更好的结果。看来拓扑掌纹模式比拓扑指纹模式更能体现人群间的差异。
