The brief history of Fingerprints

Around 200 BC, fingerprints were used to confirm contract papers. In 451 BC, an Arab merchant named Abu Zayed Hasan took a fingerprint to hand over loan in China.


King Hamburabi of Babylon declared that "law enforcement officers will be able to take the fingerprints of the arrested convicts". Fingerprints were collected at the crime scene in the 1st Qin Dynasty of China.
Historian Kia Kung-yen states that handprints may be the best evidence for authentications and identifications.


In his book Jami-i-al-Tariki, Rashid-Aldin Hamadani, a well-known Iranian doctor, states: Chinese rules for taking fingerprints is outstanding and up to date.

Marcelo Malfizi, a professor of anatomy at the University of Biology in 1686 and Johann Christoph Arunds-Meyer, a German anatomist in 1788, succeeded in researching the 1st fingerprint in Europe.  He wants to prove that fingerprints are unique and there is no similarity between each other's fingerprints.

In 1880, Henry Fold, a Scottish planner, was working at a Tokyo hospital. In his research, he suggested the use of fingerprints in individual identification and proposed illustrated method of recording with printing ink.
By 1823, however, John Evangelista Purkinje had discovered nine types of fingerprints.
In the modern world, forensic teams work with arch, whorl and loop patterns as their reading details.


The arch is a bit like a bow, the whorl is slightly spiral and eccentric. The loop looks like a series of buildings lined up.
In 1840, Robert Black suggested to Scottland Yard that fingerprints be used to investigate the murder of Lord William Russell. Sir Williams James Harschel introduced the use of fingerprints in India in 1858.
In 1877 he introduced the practice of fingerprints on the first contract paper and denial letter in Hughli, Calcutta.

The first murderer in history to be convicted through fingerprint identification. Her name is Francisco Rojas. She wanted to kill his two children by cutting her own throats and wanted to proved like it was a robbery. Central Police Inspector Alvarez identified the thumbs found in the crime scene, which belonged to Rojas. It is thought to be the first solved murder in history to have been possible with the blessing of fingerprints.

In the language of biology, fingerprints are some kind of impression on the surface of an object. Biometric process is the name given to a combination of two impressions.

When the epidermis of the skin of the hand comes in contact with an object, the veins transmit the vibrations to the sensory nerves involved in the perception of the fine texture. A wet contact is then established between the object and the hand, and the fingerprints settled.



Is that even possible?  Any human being does not have a fingerprint on anyone's skin. No fingerprints could be found.
Yes possible!
Adermatoglyphia, a rare genetic disorder that hinders the development of fingerprints. Informally it is also called "immigration delay disease". By mapping the chromosome 4q22 of Adermatoglyphia patients in Switzerland, it was found that at 3 'Axon, SMARCAD-1 helicase had a certain amount of gene point mutations and the sweat glands of the hands were missing. Although Adermatoglyphia has no side effects, there is no reason to worry about it.
Criminal John Dingler burned his fingerprints with acid, as if he had not been identified as a criminal.

Is it omay with you?
Well is fingerprints possible in any animals other than humans?

Man is the best creature of creation. So people just have fingerprints, don't anyone else! Any species?
No, that's not true.
Gorilla & Chimpanzee, Australian koalas, North American fisher have fingerprints. Scientists claim that the type of fingerprints of humans and koalas is almost identical and it is very difficult to distinguish.
