The dermatoglyphic collection (84 male and 62 female handprints) was collected as part of a genetic-anthropological expedition to the Pamirs (1984). Palm prints were taken using the ink method. The collection was processed according to the method of H. Cummins and Ch. Midlo. Finger and palm patterns were studied. The Cummins index and delta index were calculated. Circular polygons of signs of dermatoglyphics were built and the values of the Caucasian-Mongoloid complex were calculated. Literary data were used for comparative analysis. Results and discussion. As a result of the study, data on the dermatoglyphics of the Kyrgyz of the village of Dzhirgatal were introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Frequencies of finger and palmar patterns in the studied group are presented. It has been shown that bilateral and sex differences in dermatoglyphic signs reflect general distribution trends. Constructed on the basis of key dermatoglyphic features, the combination polygons for the male and female groups of the Kyrgyz of Dzhirgatal, on the whole, have a shape characteristic of the Mongoloids, while revealing features of both the South Siberian and Central Asian local races. Conclusion. The results obtained clearly demonstrate that skin patterns are a source of historical and biological information, and dermatoglyphics greatly support the data obtained by other methods in anthropology, showing its high value for anthropological analysis, which is a prerequisite for further analysis of the studied group in terms of racial diagnosis and search for associations signs of dermatoglyphics and other genetically determined systems.
