Sažetak
In the population study of the Eastern Adriatic islands among other anthropological traits, dermatoglyphs of the digito-palmar complex, were studied and analysed in relation to the known historical and ethnological processes. The qualitative dermatoglyphic traits were analysed in populations of four Eastern Adriatic islands (Silba, Olib, Pag and Krk), This paper presents the results of Chi- square test analysis and Hiernaux Dg biological distances for the examined populations. In males, two clusters are distinguished. The first cluster is formed by two subclusters. The first one consists of males from the islands of Silba and Krk and the second of males of island of Pag. The second cluster is formed by population of males from the island of Olib. In females three clusters are formed. The first one includes females from Silba and Pag. The second one is formed by females from the island of Olib, and third, more distant one is formed by the females of the island of Krk. The females from the islands show higher biological distances than males. This might be caused by a higher migration rate in females so that differences might be due to their migrational background. In male populations biological distances could be the result of homogeneous isolated population and drift effect as shown for the island of Olib. It seems that microevolutionary forces that influenced the present-day genetic constitution of the population have operated differently in various endogamous groups.
