Abstract

A research has been carried out among 200 men and 200 women of native Bulgarian origin and among 100 men and 100 women Bulgarian Mohammedans totally 600 individuals of both sexes from some regions of the Southeastern Rhodopes 1200 palm and 6000 finger dermatoglyphical prints altogether have been examined over a great number of dermatoglyphical features with racial diagnostic and taxonomical significance. The complete work and analysis of the dermatoglyphical results uses Cummins and Midlo's method (1961). The mathematical and statistical work is done by the method of t-criterion. On the base of the results reached and their analysis over dermatoglyphical features, the examined population from Southeastern Rhodopes comes under the parameter of European population with some "eastern" features. A statistically significant bimanual asymmetry of some finger and palm patterns has been found out. The examined population shows tendencies of homogeneity by dermatoglyphical marks.
