Abstract
This study deals with the incidence of finger pattern types in five subtribes of Yukpa natives from Sierra de Perija (State of Zulia —Venezuela). The frequencies of several pattern types vary to a great extent between subtribes with statistically significant difference in most of the cases. The largest differences were found between Pariri and other subtribes in both male and female series, as it occurs when other dermatoglyphic features (quantitative) are considered (Diaz Ungria and Martin, 1984, in press). The internal breaking-up of the Yukpa subtribe due to the microevolutionary process supports the results presented here.
