Sažetak
The present paper reports the distribution of finger ridge count correlations among
four tribal populations from Andhra Pradesh, India viz., Dulia, Kotia, Manne Dora
and Manzai Mali, and examines the intra and inter population variation. Higher correlations
are recorded in left hands compared to right hands, but they are not significant.
The homologous fingers exhibit a stronger correlation. In all the tribes, the correlations
between right hand fingers are relatively higher among women when compared to men.
Regarding inter population variation Dulia men differ significantly from the men of
Manne Dora and the Manzai Mali tribes, and Kotia women also differ from the women
of the Manne Dora significantly. The average correlation coefficient of the present populations
is similar to other Indian populations reported earlier but lower than African
and European populations.
