title: [The volumetric density of the hair pigment with different regional affiliations of the inhabitants of Asia, Africa i Latin America].
abstract: A stereometric (stereological) method has been developed for assessment of an objective quantitative parameter: volumic density of pigment in human hair. This method helped differentiate the hairs from the head, chest, armpits, and pubis in residents of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the former USSR. The differences in this parameter were particularly evident in the aborigines of Africa and in the population of Asia, Latin America, and the former USSR (p = 0.02-0.01). Hairs of the residents of Asia, Latin America, and former USSR also differed (p = 0.05). The method is simple, available, and may be used in comparative studies of the hairs, including expert evaluations of their similarity.
