Abstract

The workings of human genetics have always been a mystery to most, including
scientists. In fact new relations with human genetics and everyday life are being
discovered every day. This article reviews the research done to find a correlation
between fingerprints and human genetics. Fingerprints have always been indicators of
identity since everyone has a different fingerprint. This stays true when it comes to
family members. The objective of the research is to find out if there is any correlation
between human genetics and fingerprint patterns. The researcher hypothesizes that the
genes passed down from parent to offspring help construct a unique fingerprint pattern.
