✦ Synopsis

A random sample of 2,130 apparently healthy Bulgarians, 1,065 of each sex, was investigated to obtain a detailed picture of finger dermatoglyphic asymmetry and intraindividual diversity in the population examined.

Both sexes showed an almost equal pattern of asymmetry and diversity. Relative pattern asymmetry, taking into account the pattern type frequencies, tends to be higher in males, being especially pronounced on fingers which show a low asymmetry in other aspects.

Like other populations so far examined, Bulgarians display higher rates in males than in females concerning the total, ulnar, and radial ridge-counts, their asymmetries, and intraindividual diversities. However, the more analysis of the ridgecount asymmetry is worked out in detail, the more it becomes evident that both sexes are asymmetrical not so much to a different degree as in a different manner.
