Abstract
The personal identification particularly sex from extremities become increasingly important in cases of mass disasters. Sex has been determined from skeletal remains and different body parts in different studies in the past. The aim of the present study is to provide a database on right and left hand anthropometric measurements in Haryanvi Brahmins and evaluating its sex differences. The present study was conducted on 300 Haryanvi Brahmins (150 of either sex) of age 18 years and above. Three measurements: hand length, hand breadth & shape index were taken using the sliding calliper. All the data so obtained was recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed. Mean values of hand length, hand breadth & shape index was more in males as compared to females in Haryanvi Brahmins. The difference in mean values of hand measurements between males & females was highly significant in Haryanavi Brahmins.
