The use of dermatoglyphic traits to describe interpopulational diversity among human populations at various levels of differentiation is compared with similar analysis of gene frequency data by means of nonparametric methods employing distance matrices and dendrograms, and by a partition of total variability into its between and within population components. Congruence of dermatoglyphics and gene markers appears to vary with level of population differentiation -- the association remains insignificant until racial level of differentiation is considered. Different pitfalls of the data used are mentioned. The interpretation of these findings is discussed by comparison with other non-human studies.
通过使用距离矩阵和树状图的非参数方法，以及将总变异性划分为群体间和群体内成分，将利用皮纹特征来描述不同分化水平的人类群体间的群体间多样性，与基因频率数据的类似分析进行比较。皮纹学和基因标记的一致性似乎随群体分化水平而变化——在考虑种族分化水平之前，这种关联仍然不显著。文中提到了所使用数据的不同缺陷。通过与其他非人类研究进行比较，对这些发现的解释进行了讨论。
