Description
Summary:Nine anthroposcopic traits, namely palmar and plantar digital formulae, handclasping, armfolding, handedness, tongue rolling and folding, ear lobe attachment and legfolding have been studied in the three tribal populations — Murias, Bisonhorn Marias and Halbas — from the Bastar District in Madhya Pradesh (Central India). An attempt has been made to compare the results of the present study with other population groups of Central India. An den drei Stammesbevölkerungen des Bastar-Distrikts in Madhya Pradesh (Zentralindien) — Marias, Bisonhorn Marias und Halbas — wurden die folgenden neun anthroposkopischen Merkmale untersucht: Längenverhältnis der Finger und Zehen, Fingerverschränken, Armeverschränken, Händigkeit, Zungenrollen und -falten, Ohrläppchenverwachsung sowie Beineverschränken. Die Ergebnisse werden mit verschiedenen anderen Bevölkerungsgruppen aus Zentralindien verglichen.
