Abstract The incidence of ABH secretion, dry cerumen, ear‐lobe attachment, hand clasping, arm‐folding, and digital hair, occipital hair whorl and relative length of first and second toes is reported for Tibetan refugees. In those traits for which comparative data are available, they resemble Mongoloid rather than Caucasoid populations.
