摘要: 本文采用分层整群抽样的调查方法捺印1183名藏族青少年的掌指纹, 分析掌指纹参数,然后与其他56个群体的掌指纹参数进行聚类分析, 进而从肤纹学角度探讨藏族的起源。发现藏族指纹以斗型纹为主(52.89%), 其次为箕型纹(42.95%), 弓形纹出现频率最低(4.16%); 总指嵴线计数为139.01(其中男性为144.75, 女性为133.87); atd角在男性为42.95°, 女性为43.28°。掌指纹参数聚类分析显示: 藏族与汉族和氐羌氏族的后裔(门巴族、普米族、羌族等)等我国北方人群聚在一起。因而从肤纹学角度推断藏族与汉族和氐羌氏族的亲缘关系较近, 而与印度人和孟加拉人的亲缘关系较远。

Abstract: To explore the origin of dermatoglyphic patterns in Tibetan ethnic populations, 1183 Tibetans were selected using stratified cluster sampling. The characterstics of this sample were then compared to 56 other populations using cluster analysis. In the Tibetan ethnic sample, whorls ( 52. 89% ) were the main type of fingerprint pattern, loops were next (42. 95% ) followed by arches (4. 16% ). Total finger ridge counts were 144. 75 in males and 133. 87 in females, with the mean of 139. 01. The Atd angle was 42. 95°and 43. 28° in males and females, respectively. Cluster analysis of palm print and fingerprint parameters showed that northern populations such as the Tibetan ethnic group, the Han nationality and descendants of the Diqiang nationality (Menba nationality, Qiang nationality and so on) clustered into one group. This work thus ndicates the relationship of the Tibetan ethnic population was close to the Han nationality and the descendants of Diqiang nationality, but distant from peoples of Indian and Bengali ancestry.
