Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Dermatoglyphic features are unaffected by environment and no development changes observed except for increased in size and growth of the ridges with the growth of hands. Individual finger and palm print vary from individual to individual with no exception of even identical twins. Dermatoglyphics offer a reliable means of criminal identification, disputed paternity, association with diseases, population variability, inheritance, sexual dimorphism and twin diagnosis. This commemorative volume is edited by Dr. Dipak Kumar Adak and Dr. Anand Murti Mishra to pay homage to their teacher, Dr. Ramesh Chaube (30.07. 1943-28.11.2014), Retired Professor, Department of Anthropology, Dr. H.S. Gour University, Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. Late Prof. Chaube devoted his life in advancement of research in the field of dermatoglyphics. Among some noteworthy contributions, he developed a research methodology for the classification of palmar creases in the year 1971, which was accepted internationally and till date it has been in use all over the world. This volume consists of twenty-five chapters contributed by distinguished scientists in the fields of medical science, population biology and anthropology. It has three sections. First section focused on methodological perspectives of dermatoglyphics, which consists of six articles. Contributed research papers are on asymmetry and diversity in dermatoglyphics traits, inbreeding effects on finger ridge counts, micro-evolutionary trend and classificatory variation in dermatoglyphics, formulation of bracelet creases and incidence of monomorphic finger patterns. The second section consists of five articles on clinical aspects of dermatoglyphics. The authors have reported finger ridge count and atd angle in E-B-thalassaemia patients, palmar ridge counts in autistic patients, simian crease and Sydney line in diabetic mellitus patients, dermatoglyphic main line in Turner's syndrome and palmar flexion creases in mouth cancer patients.
