Abstract
The dermatoglyphic (lit.'skin-carvings') patterns of the hand are the intimate and private symbol of the individual. Although this is true of all the skin-ridge patterns on the surface of the hand as a whole, it is especially true of the digital dermatoglyphs, the fingerprints. Everybody knows that we each possess a unique set of fingerprints, a knowledge which is put to much use by police forces around the world, and moreover, that these patterns do not change. Their use as a means of identification shows how significant they are as an indicator of identity; their uniqueness shows how significant they are as a measure of individuality. Indeed, scientific research has confirmed that these patterns not only have a genetic significance but that they also betray certain distinctive psychological characteristics.
