The Triad of Identity: Correlating Cheiloscopy, Dermatoglyphics, and Blood Grouping in Dakshin Kannada Population

This book presents an in-depth exploration of three significant biometric markers—cheiloscopy (lip print patterns), dermatoglyphics (palm print patterns), and ABO/Rh blood grouping—within the Dakshin Kannada population. By examining these unique and inheritable characteristics, the book provides valuable insights into their correlations and relevance in personal identification. It highlights how these biometric traits, when analyzed together, can strengthen forensic and anthropological approaches to human identification. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of population-specific patterns and demonstrates the importance of integrating multiple biometric parameters for enhanced accuracy and reliability
