Digital and palmar dermatoglyphic patterns among natives of extreme northwest Nepal. 1983

J W Larrick, and C C Plato

A dermatoglyphic study was made of two high-altitude populations inhabiting the same ecozone in extreme northwest Nepal. Despite cultural and linguistic differences there appears to be a significant amount of dermatoglyphic homology between the Buddhist-Tibetan villages and their Hindu-Caucasian neighbors.
