Epidemal patterns of palms of 32 Taihang \%Macaca mulatta\%(16 males and 16 females)were examined.We found that there were six kinds of pattern types in different areas.Refer to the dermatoglyhics’ opening direction and rotating direction,loops were mainly radialward while whorls ulnarward;On interdigital Ⅰ,palmar patterns indicated their pecularity and complexity in percentile frequencies,print pattern and sexual difference;clustering the true pattern percentile frequencies of the five species of primates,the result conveyed that the print patterns and percentile frequencies were different in primates’ different classification,it’s one of the criterions to judge the morphological characteristics among different species.
