Abstract:

The objective of this study is to determine the distribution of genetic and morphological traits among the Binis, an ethnic group in the Southern part of Nigeria. Genetic and morphological traits studied include blood group and rhesus factor, tongue rolling and tongue folding, widows peak, facial dimple, earwax type, earlobe attachment and tooth occlusion pattern. A total of 250 Binis between the age of 15 and 44 (male and female) were used for this research. Data was collected by physical observation and examination. The result showed that no significant gender difference exist in the distribution of morphogenetic traits except for tongue folding. Findings from the study will be useful in clinical practice, emergency cases and in forensic medicine.
