Biological affinities between the three endogamous groups of marine fishermen of Puri are examined with the help of nine anthropometric measurements and 22 dermatoglyphic traits of fingers and palms. The results are interpreted in the light of their ethnic, geographical, and migrational backgrounds. Multiple discriminant analysis and Mahalanobis's generalized distances suggest higher discrimination of populations with reference to anthropometric traits as compared to that in dermatoglyphic variables. While the nature of interpopulation distances conforms to the geographic pattern in anthropometrics, no clear picture emerges in the dermatoglyphic distances supporting either ethnic or geographic evidence.
借助九项人体测量指标以及手指和手掌的22项皮纹特征，对普里的三个内婚制海洋渔民群体之间的生物亲缘关系进行了研究。根据他们的种族、地理和迁徙背景对结果进行了解释。多元判别分析和马氏广义距离表明，与皮纹变量相比，根据人体测量特征对人群的区分度更高。虽然群体间距离的性质符合人体测量学中的地理模式，但在皮纹距离方面，无论是种族还是地理证据，都没有呈现出清晰的图景。
