Abstract Finger prints of 156 Tibetan males and 150 females have been analyzed. Whorls are more abundant in Tibetan males (60.24%) than in females (48.67%). The index of pattern intensity shows a higher value in males (15.95) than the females (14.65). The bimanual differences (both in males and females) are not statistically significant for the occurrence of pattern on the digits of the right and left hands. However, the difference between the sexes for the occurrence of patterns on the finger balls, are statistically significant. Ridge counting was done for each finger. On all fingers, Tibetan males have higher ridge‐counts than females. The possible tendency for the right hands to possess higher ridge‐counts cannot be demonstrated statistically. Tibetans show greater affinity with the Southern Mongoloids in the frequency distributions of pattern types on the finger balls. However, a more detailed dermatoglyphic study of all the Mongoloid populations in South East Asia, Central Asia and Far East would yield information of great value in disclosing the palmar pattern distributions among the Mongoloids.

American Journal of Physical Anthropology

美国体质人类学杂志 (AJPA) 是美国体质人类学家协会的官方期刊。该杂志每月出版，每季度出版三卷。此外，每年还会出版两份增刊，即发表主要评论文章的《体质人类学年鉴》和《年会刊》，其中包含美国体质人类学家协会年会的科学计划以及海报和讲台的摘要演示文稿。 《体质人类学年鉴》有自己的编辑，由协会任命，独立于 AJPA 处理。按影响因子衡量，AJPA 是社会科学引文索引在人类学类别中列出的顶级期刊之一。 AJPA 作为体质人类学领先出版物的声誉建立在其在广泛主题中发表高质量科学文章的长达一个世纪的记录之上。

The American Journal of Physical Anthropology (AJPA) is the official journal of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. It is published monthly, with three volumes released each quarter. Additionally, two supplements are published annually: the Annual Review of Physical Anthropology, which features major review articles, and the Annual Meeting Proceedings, which includes the scientific program of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists' annual meeting along with abstracts of poster and platform presentations. The Annual Review has its own editor, appointed by the association, and operates independently of AJPA. By impact factor, AJPA is one of the top-ranked journals in the anthropology category of the Social Sciences Citation Index. The reputation of AJPA as a leading publication in physical anthropology is built on a century-long record of publishing high-quality scientific articles on a wide range of topics.
