This paper relates to the study of the quantitative properties of digitopalmar dermatoglyphics (TRC, PII, a-b, b-c and c-d ridge-counts, and atd angle) of the inhabitants of the eastern and western part of the island of Hvar, as part of the multidisciplinary studies. The results have provided no evidence to support the hypothesis about the existence, in relation to the dermatoglyphic characteristics analysed, of the genetically different groups living in the same biotope.
