: Dental anthropology of the Karakatchans from Bulgaria; They were studied 100 individuals of both sexes of the contemporary Karakatchan population from the regions of Sliven and Kotel by complex of odontological features with race - diagnostic and taxonomical meaning. Teeth of students aged 12-15 were studied because of the odontological feature on the chewing surface are present and could be observed by a binocular magnifying glass. The whole study and the race - diagnostic analysis of the population was conducted by Zoubov's metod. On the basis of percentage concentration of the odontological traits, it was established that the studied population belongs to the Western odontological stem.

: Dental anthropology of the contemporary Bulgarian population from some regions of Northwest Bulgaria; More than 100 persons from the region Biala Slatina of both sexes and 100 men and women from Borovan were researched on 13 basic odontological features with diag-nostically and taxonomically significance. The research is done over the teeth of learners on age between 12 and 16 tears, because their teeth are still in a good state of preservation from erasing in respect of their morphological special features. The research to is done according the method of A. Zubov (1968). On the base of the researched evidences was determined that according to the frequency of the odontologically characteristics the researched population refers to the West odontological bole. On some odontologica characteristics, such as the shovel-shaped upper medial incisors and 1 pr. (II) can be seen risen frequency. This is an indication of the participation of the "east" admixture in the ethnogenesis of the researched population. It is historically known, that still in the first millennium Thracian tribes have participated in the ethnogenesis of the population from northwest Bulgaria and partial in the territory of Vrachansko. At the end of the V century the Balkan Peninsula was consecutive attacked by the Slavs. Later, the Bulgarian population has exposed on the influence of Proto-Bulgarian elements. That is why the population of northwest Bulgaria was formed from the three basic components in the composition of the Bulgarians, namely the Thracians, Slavs and the Proto-Bulgarians. It is interesting this population to be researched in anthropological aspect. In the contemporary anthropological researches abreast of the using of somatological, dermatoglifical, blood and others anthropological methods, received current the odontological researches, based on a great number of odontological characteristics with race-diagnostically and taxonomically significance (Vasshtaeva, 1977, Gadjiev, 1973, Zubov, 1968 Minkov, 1977, 1978, 1978, 1982, 1983, 1987).

: Dental anthropology of the contemporary Bulgarian population of some regions of northwestern Bulgaria; 372 individuals of both sexes from some regions of Bulgaria (Tchelopec Crivodol, Beli izvor and Vratsa) by 13 basic odontological traits with diagnostic and taxonoinical meaning were studied. The investigation was accomplished on the teeth of pupils age 12 to 16, because their odontological are fully presented. The most of the odontological traits were studied on the wax prints of the teeth by means of magnifying glass (binocular). The investigation was made according to Zoubov's method (1968). Taking into a consideration the received data about the odontological traits, the investigated population from Northwestern Bulgaria belongs to the Western odontological stem. According to some odontological traits, however, like crowding, TAMI and protoconus (II) it was established a increased frequency that is an indication for participation of "eastern" admixture in the ethnogenesis of the investigated population.

: Dental morphology on skeletal material from medieval graveyard of Stara Torina; Point of the study was examination of the morphological variants of teeth on skeletal material from medieval graveyard of Stara Torina. Comparing our results with the results of the other medieval nekropolis on this area give us information about dental profile of medieval population on the region of current Serbia. A sample of casts representing 40 individuals is selected from the collection for use in this study. Number of teeth analysed was 343 and 27 morphological variants of teeth crown were observed. On the incisors we found two morphologicial variants: shovel-shaped incisors (44%) and outstanding lingual ridge (40%). On the canines we found outstanding lingual tubercle (46,67%). On the premolars the highest frequency if 'H' fissure pattern (28,21%) was noted. Considerable variants were found on the occlusal surface of molars. The morphologicial variants corresponds south-European population like the spatulate incisors, premolars with two cusps, the first upper molar with four cusps (73,3%), the second lower molar with four cusps and '+' fissure paterns (51,5%) and the Carabelli trait on the first upper molar ( I 3,1 %). There considerable correlation found among the medieval populations of our geographic region.

: Dermathoglyphical characteristic of Karakachan population in some Bulgarian regions; Finger and palm patterns of 154 men and 139 women from the region of Samokov and 150 men and 157 women from the region of Sliven with total individuals 600 of both sexes have been studied. The investigation was done by Cummins and Midlo's method (1951). It was established that the explored Karakachan population according to the dermatoglyphic traits belongs to the europeoids with weak mongoloids admixtures In the anthropological surveys of human populations, from different parts of the world, which purpose is to solve race-genetical and ethno-genetical problems, we use somatic, odonthological anthropological and dermatoglyphical characteristics, which are genetically determined (Gladkova, 1958, 1961, 1964, 1966; Gladkova, Tot, 1970, 1983; Hit 1964, 1969, 1983; Rons, 1985, Luna, Rons, 1987; Shamla, 1962-1963). For more complete anthropological characterization we made dermatoglyphical survey of the Karakachan population in some Bulgarian regions. The Karakachans are ethnical group that consists of contemporary Bulgarian people. In anthropological aspect they are of great interest for us. According to the historical information the Karakachans are nomads, who came in Bulgaria from the Greek mountains. Their main subsistence, in the mountain regions was the stock-breeding. They raised big flocks of sheep. Later they settled in the lower parts- in villages and towns. It is believed that the Karakachans are europeids (evropeidi) in whose ethnogenesis took place the Thraciansand the Slavjani. In anthropological aspect it is of interest for us to establish if in the ethnogenesis of the Karakachan population took place ethnical group with "eastern characteristics". This survey examines the dermatoglyphical characteristics of today's Karakachan population, by using fingerprints and palm prints images of the hands.

: Dermatoglyphic characterization of Bulgarian and Turkish population from some regions of eastern Bulgaria, region of Burgas; The dermatoglyhical material is collected from Kotel and Pomorie, but a Turkish material from the villages of Lablanovo, Bata and Emirsko. Palm and finger prints of 100 men and 100 women - Bulgarians and 100 men and 100 women - Turkish population from this region are studied. The studied dermatoglyphical material is treated and analyzed by method of Cummins and Midlo (1961). On the basis of mathematic-statistical analysis of the dermatoglyphical material is established that the explored population is homogenous according to the dermatoglyphic traits.

: Dermatoglyphic characterization of Bulgarian population from some regions of middle Mizia; Palm and fingers prints of the hands of 100 men and 100 women from the region of Tcherven Briag and 100 men and 100 women from Lukovit region were explored. A big number of dermatoglyphic traits with diagnostical and taxonomical meaning upon 800 palm and 4000 finger prints were investigated The full processing and analysis of the data received were doing by Cummins and Midlo's method (1961). The dermatoglyphical data received were worked up by the method t-criterion according to the formula of Veber (1961) in other to establish if the differences between the dermatoglyphic traits in the studied population from both regions, re significant or insignificant. A bimanual asymmetry (statistically significant) by one traits - III interdigital pad in the population from Tcherven briag and by two traits - Th/I and III interdigital pad in the Lukovit population was established. Besides, a sexual dimorphism only for the population from Tcherven briag, by three dermatoglyphical traits - Th/I, III - interdigital pad and AIT /additional interdigital triradii/. It was established by the method t-criterion, that the studied population from both regions is quiet homogenous according to the dermatoglyphical traits.

: Dermatoglyphical features of the Bulgarian population from some regions of the southeastern Rhodopes; 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.

: Dermatoglyphics and psychological properties of the individual; The complex research work including dermatoglyphic patterns and physchological parameters was carried out on 67 men and 64 women with aggressive antisocial behaviour, staying in prisons. Senior school children (50 men and 50 women) from village Miori (Vitebsk voblast) were taken as a control group. Aggressive men as well as women showed more freguently met worl patterns and higher numbers of ridge count in comparison with control group. High correlations between dermatoglyphical signs and physiological parameters observed.

: Determining the anthropological taxa; Kako velika većina antropoloških, dakle morfoloških, fizioloških psiholoških i socioloških karakteristika ima, aproksimativno, normalnu distribuciju, i kako koherentni skupovi tih karakteristika imaju, gotovo uvek, multivarijatnu normalnu distribuciju, metode za određivanje antropoloških tipova pod modelom distinktnih taksona nisu primerene distributivnim svojstvima tih karakteristika. Zbog toga je za određivanje antropoloških tipova razumnije primeniti neku metodu koja pripada skupu metoda za analizu razlivenih taksona. Razmatrana je jedna klasa takvih algoritama, koji pripadaju skupu metoda za analizu polaznih taksona, i navedena neka rešenja problema izbora adekvatne metrike, određivanja broja taksonomskih dimenzija, i izbora najpogodnije parsimonijske funkcije.

: Development of anthropogenetic investigations in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Based on chronology, content and the level of available data, we can distinguish several periods, i.e. development stages of human genetics investigation in Bosna and Herzegovina: 1) Analysis of pheno-genotypes of the population and the frequency of certain genes in various characteristics - blood types of the ABO, Rh and MN systems (1934-35; 1953-66); - number of biochemical-physiological, static-morphological and dynamic-morphological characteristics (1967-76). In all three subperiods investigations mostly covered 'republic' and 'regional' samples from urban environments, and data analysis of suitable genetic relations in random samples of the population or in groups of cases with dubious fathers. In the most developed stage genetic balance in the population was also tested by studying relevant relations in two successive generations. 2) Parallelty, since 1966, there is continuous investigation in the field of geneology and other genetic aspects of a number of genodermatoses 3) Along with the above directions and levels of human genetics investigations in Bosna and Herzegovina, the period after 1976 is characteristic for the following: - complex analysis of the genetic distance (based on integrated data of 3-15 features) in groups of 5-20 of mostly rural population; - study of congenital anomalies frequency beginning of organized cytogenetic investigations.
