Materials   and   Methods:   The   present   study   was   carried   out   to   demonstrate   the   anthropometric   variation   in   morphological   facial   index   in   both   sexes   of adult   Gond   of   Uttar   Bastar,   District   Kanker,   Chhattisgarh.   With   100   males   and   100   females   between   age   group   of   18-   45   yrs   were   selected   randomly   who were   residing   in   different   villages   of   the   district.   Morphological   facial   length   and   bi-zygomatic   breadth   of   these   subjects   were   measured   by   using   calipers (spreading and sliding). Statistical   Analysis :   The   Morphological   facial   index   were   calculated   according   to   the   formula   and   the   obtained   results   were   analyzed   statistically   using   the   t- test. Results:   The   mean   values   of   the   Morphological   facial   height,   Bizygomatic   breadth   and   Total   facial   index   in   males   were,   respectively,   11.95±0.68,   13.02±0.61 and   91.13±10   while   the   following   values   of   parameters   were   obtained   in   females,   respectively   were   11.11±0.11,11.95±0.05   and   93.05±8.6.   It   has   been shown   that   males   in   the   studied   population   have   significantly   higher   values   of   all   measurements   compared   to   the   tested   females   (p   <0.05)   and   differences were   significant.   The   dominant   type   of   face   phenotype   in   the   studied   population,   according   to   the   value   of   TFI   were   Hyperleptoprosopic   both   in   males   and females.   Conclusion:   With   the   help   of   this   study,   the   sex   as   well   as   race   of   the   deceased   can   be   determined   accurately   and   this   knowledge   can   be   of immense   importance   to   anthropologists   as   well   as   forensic   science   experts.    These   results   will   be   very   useful   for   genetic   research,   as   well   as   in   medical clinical practice.
