IS FINGERPRINT EXAMINATION A DEFINITE SCIENCE?

Fingerprint Examination has clearly stood the test of time and experience. Fingerprints are permanent and unique. It has been established over 100 years ago that friction ridge patterns remain unchanged naturally in their ridge detail during the lifetime of an individual and that fact makes it possible for individualization of fingerprints leading to absolute personal identification. Also no two fingerprints are alike. The ridges on the fingers of all persons have basic characteristics such as ridge endings, bifurcations and dots, which appear in combinations that are never repeated on the other finger of same person or any other persons, not even in identical twins.
