Abstract: This article reported 14 parameters of normal dermatoglyphic values of 11 national minorities. Some of them have been compared with Han people and the Whites of North America. We analysed them statistically and clustered them. The result shows that the inheritable characters of dermatoglyphic not only exist significant differences between White and Black people, but also in different natives.
The article provides an important parameter for studying the origin, development and relationship of the different nationalities in our country as well as for the diagnosis of some genetic diseases by the parameters of normal dermatoglyphic value.

Key words: National minority; Dermatoglyphic parameter
