Abstract
The identification of an unknown person remains one of the most important areas of forensic medicine. The use of simple and materially nonburdensome research methods can accelerate the process of identifying common anthroposcopic and anthropometric parameters of a person. Dermatoglifical parameters of distal, middle and proximal phalanges of fingers are stable phenotypic features of a person, which correlate with other parameters of it. Obtained using modern scanners dermatoglific parameters are already digitized and are subject to rapid processing of modern computer programs. The conducted research allowed to establish the correlation between the dermatological signs of fingers and the height of the female population of Hutsul, Lemko and Boyko ethno-territorial groups. Correlation ties between dermatoglyphic parameters of distal, middle and proximal phalanges of hands andanthropometric parameters were sufficiently informative, which allowed them to be used in the prediction of foreign-recognizable features of a person.
Highlights
Finger dermatoglyphics of the hand and the foot, or finger dermatoglyphic patterns (FDP), represent a unique morphological phenomenon, which attracts the attention of scientists of various theoretical and applied areas of science
FDP are widely useing in addressing the key issues of anthropology [1], ethnology [2], criminology [3,4,5,6], developmental biology [6,7,8], developing computer methods of image recognition of biological objects [4, 9,10], etc
The purpose of our study is to study the complex of signs of comb drawing of fingers and toes and their relationship with the growth of persons living on the territory of Ukraine, for further use of the obtained data in the practice of forensic examination in identifying an unknown person
