Abstract: This paper reports the finger pattern parameters of Han in China. China Han Nationality is the largest nationality in world. It amounts to 20% of the total population of the world. The results obtained from 17 Han populations in China are as follows: percent frequencies of finger pattern arch, loop, whorl are 2.6851±0.0486, 47.7766±0.l503, 49.5383±0.1504 respectively. Finger pattern intensity index (FII) is 14.6853. Cluster analysis was mode in south group and north mixed group in 17 populations.
China Han Nationality has polymorphism for its populations and unity for racial samples.

Key words: Han nationality; Finger pattern
