Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Anthropometry is applied to obtain measurements of living subjects for identifying age, stature, and various dimensions related to particular race or an individual. Aim -To determine racial characteristic of Gond tribe boys by facial anthropometry. Material & methods-In the present study, data were collected from Patharia block, Mungeli district, Chhattisgarh. Easy approachability and average density of Gond tribe and non-tribe population were the major criteria for selection of this place. Assessment of differences in facial structures, such as, bizygomatic diameter, morphological face height, and nose height, nose width by their direct measurements from the subjects of two groups was done to see if there are any racial characteristics. Result - It was observed that GT boys had wider nose, as nose width was significantly (p value < 0.05) more than NT boys at most age groups. No major difference was observed for bizygomatic diameter, morphological face height & nose height. Conclusion- It was concluded that anthropometric measurements can play significant role in determining the ethnicity of characteristic pure races of national importance. Broad nose seems to be a racial feature characteristic of Gond tribe.
