“…However, the factors affecting the development of fingerprints towards a regular shape (e.g., size, thickness of subcutaneous fat, degree of stoutness, growth rate of bone) eventually result in the diversity of fingerprints. In general, it is thought that the dermatoglyphic pattern of a human fingertip (whorl, loop or arch) is controlled mainly by genetic factors (Solhi et al 2010; Cheng et al 2009; Dipierri et al 2014), and that its diversification also reflects the genetic diversity of individuals (Madan et al 2011). …”

Objective We assessed the genetic rules for the dermatoglyphics of human fingertips. We also evaluated the correlation between spouse selection with the number of whorls on fingertips.MethodsData were collected for the number of whorls from 118 families (couples and their children). Distribution of whorls was analyzed further to investigate the relationship between heredity and spouse selection.ResultsThrough multiple regression analysis, we found that the number of whorls on fingertips was affected considerably by genetic factors. In a married couple with a moderate number of whorls, the probability of their children having a high number of whorls was 26.5 %, and the probability of their children having a low number of whorls was 23.5. These values were close to the theoretical value (25 %). A significant correlation between whorl count between spouses was observed.ConclusionThese data suggest that whorls are inherited from a single gene or a group of closely linked genes. Our findings provide an initial insight on the potential contribution of biologic characteristics on spouse selection.

Abstract. The article outlines the prospects for studying the ethnic and regional features of dermatoglyphic parameters of hands and feet, given the intensification of migration processes both within Ukraine and worldwide, which each year causes a catastrophic increase in the number of people living outside the country or region origin. Refugees, labor and political migrants, migrants due to racial discrimination and other reasons today make up 3% of the world's population. The growing flow of world migration and assimilation creates all the conditions for the disappearance of pure ethnic groups and peoples. Therefore, modern scientists are interested in the availability of anthropometric, anthroposcopic, dermatoglyphic data of different populations to create regional gene pools. In the context of the above issues, the issue related to the study of anthroposcopic, anthropometric, dermatoglyphic parameters of the population of Ukraine, taking into account regional and ethno-territorial affiliation, remains relevant. The article also identifies the advantages of using the dermatoglyphic method, which include ease of use, financial burden and the ability to obtain results in a short time. A thorough analysis of the literature on this issue, based on which the main directions of application of dermatoglyphics. It has been determined that dermatoglyphic has been the subject of research by specialists in various fields of knowledge form overe the century. Based on the results of studying the features of dermatoglyphic, anthropometric and anthroposcopic parameters, scientists have proposed a zoning scheme of the territory of Ukraine.The results obtained by studying the comb pattern of human hands and feet still remain an informative source in medicine, criminology, anthropology and population genetics. Genetic conditionality of dermatoglyphic parameters allows to use dermatoglyphics to solve a number of issues that arise during ethno anthropological and population-genetic studies. Dermatoglyphics is widely used in medicine: clinical (in predicting the likelihood of various pathological conditions) sports (in determining the physical capabilities of the person). In the practice of forensic medicine, dermatoglyphics has until recently been used in the examination of disputed paternity, but in recent decades it has also been actively used in determining family affiliation, analysis of family ties with subsequent use of data to identify unknown persons parameters of relatives. A number of Ukrainian scientists who studied the ethnic features of dermatoglyphic, anthropometric and anthroposcopic parameters, their contribution to Ukrainian ethnodermatoglyphics and outlined prospects for study were identified in the literature analysis. The main key issues considered by scientists from other countries of the world are also identified, the method of studying the ethnic and territorial features of dermatoglyphic, anthropometric and anthroposcopic parameters used by them is evaluated and the results obtained by them are analyzed. Іn the context of the above, it should be noted that the study of ethnological, regional features of dermatoglyphic parameters of the hands and feet is relevant among the world scientific community. However, currently there are too few works by domestic authors devoted to the study of regional and ethno-territorial features of dermatoglyphic parameters, although given the intensification of migration processes, the prospects for its study are outlined.

“…En esta provincia hubo una importante inmigración de italianos, franceses, judíos, sirios y libaneses. Por el contrario, en las áreas más altas como la puna de Jujuy predomina la ascendencia indígena (Dipierri et al 2014). Diversos estudios a partir de marcadores genéticos han encontrado una influencia de la altitud en el "pool" genético de las poblaciones, sugiriendo que la diversidad genética puede estar geográficamente estructurada (Dipierri et al 2000, Dipierri et al 2014.…”

Octavio Paz, escritor del siglo XX y premio Nobel de Literatura, dijo una vez en tono de broma: “los mexicanos descienden de los aztecas, los peruanos de los incas y los argentinos... de los barcos”, esta frase, acuñada para hacer hincapié en el fuerte impacto que ha tenido inmigración en Argentina da una visión del grado de mestizaje que podemos encontrar en el país. Para poder comprender mejor la dinámica de las poblaciones actuales, cuál es su nivel de diversidad, si existe algún patrón de relación entre las distancias genéticas y las geográficas y si hay diferencias entre las poblaciones de las distintas regiones del país, se emplean herramientas moleculares que combinadas con los datos antropológicos, arqueológicos y los registros demográficos, dan respuesta a varias de estas preguntas. En el presente trabajo se emplearon marcadores moleculares específicamente del cromosoma Y, esta molécula por sus particularidades de herencia patrilineal y por no presentar recombinación, es un instrumento clave, cuando se buscan respuestas históricas partiendo de la biología y particularmente la reconstrucción de la historia por vía paterna. Con el fin de tener una visión general del estado actual de la diversidad de las poblaciones argentinas, se analizaron los cromosomas Y de 15 localidades provenientes de la región del Noroeste y Cuyo, encontrando que en la mayoría de las localidades, los linajes más frecuentes son de origen extra continental, obteniendo los picos más altos en las poblaciones de la región cuyana. Estos linajes se han distribuido por toda la región sosteniendo un flujo de genes entre las localidades. La llegada de los colonizadores europeos y los inmigrantes ultramarinos entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, probablemente han generado un patrón de uniformidad que tiende a ocultar los rastros de diferenciación que pudieron existir en épocas pre coloniales. Cuando profundizamos en los linajes propios de nativos americanos se evidencia también una alta diversidad, encontrando sub linajes nativos de baja frecuencia y dentro del sub linaje mayoritario (QM3) observamos una separación regional que cuenta la historia de una migración intra-continental diferencial para las localidades analizadas.
