This comprehensive exploration highlights the significance of morphogenetic traits in anthropological and forensic studies, emphasizing their potential applications in predictive human screening. Facial features, earlobe attachment, dimples, index finger ratios, chin shape, tongue rolling, hitchhiker's thumb, handedness, widow's peak, and hair nature contribute to individual identification and diverse medical contexts. While DNA sequencing remains a valuable tool, the study of these observable traits offers an alternative approach, providing insights into human diversity and addressing health concerns. This review underscores the importance of ongoing research to unlock the full potential of morphogenetic traits in enhancing our understanding of genetics, forensics, and predictive screening methodologies
