Fingerprints Frances Galton and the Evolution of Fingerprinting
Due to the failure of the anthropometry method in
the William West case the fingerprinting system sup-
ported by Frances Galton became the preferred meth-
od of criminal identification. His choice method, the
Henry Method, was supported by statistical proof in
his 1892 book Finger Prints.
Galton established a methodology for classifying the
prints and a database for their filing. His work was the
basis for all of the fingerprint work done today.
Have a look at your fingers.
What shapes do your prints have?
Using the powders recover your finger
marks from the paper available.
