title: [An assessment of the homeostasis of development in man by dermatoglyphic indices].
abstract: Dermatoglyphic traits were examined in 176 inhabitants (39 families) of a village in Arkhangelsk Province. The level of bilateral symmetry and the similarity of the traits were determined in parents, in parents-children pairs, and between children. It is suggested that differences in the level of bilateral symmetry between children and the extent of similarity between children and parents may be used as a criterion of stability or developmental homeostasis in man.
