Abstract

Objective To accumulate data for the physical anthropology research of Miao ethnicity adults, and find out the kinship and difference between this group and the other 10 ethnicities. Methods Viviperception and measurement were used to study the caudomedial part traits in 299 Miao ethnicity adults (146 males and 153 females ) who lived in Chishui city in Guizhou, and statistical software SPSS18.0 was used to process data. Results Apart from length of middle finger, the height of medial malleolus subpoint, and the rest 19 indices between male and female had significant difference or great significant difference (0.01<P<0.05orP<0.05). Great majority of males were trunk types (55.5%) and more females tended to be the long trunk type (39.9%). Most of males belonged to wide chirality (44.40%) while more females tended to be narrow chirality (39.9%). More males were submakroskelic type (33.6%) and majority of females tended to be mesatiskelic type (35.3%). Males and females tended to the hypermicrosoma (males 37.0%, females 54.9%). Conclusion The physical character of the Miao ethnicity males and females living in Chishui city is positively related to the Miao ethnicity in Xishui. There is significant difference between Miao and Mulao ethnicity.
