Hello viewers, in my LA class we are doing a project on finger prints. So I will be posting mine here as well as stating a few facts about finger prints
1)Human skin has several layers, and each layer has sub-layers. A developing fetus is constantly straining and stretching these layers, which can snag on each other.
2) finger prints are used to find criminals they us finger prints found on crime scenes to match the prints with the person who had done the crime
3)Three diseases can prevent fingerprints from forming: Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome (NFJS), Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR), and adermatoglyphia.
4)Even after we die our fingerprints stick around, which makes them very helpful in identifying bodies
5) So far were aware of only a few animals with unique fingerprints, such as gorillas, chimpanzees, and koalas.
6) Rough tactile work like bricklaying and chemotherapy drugs like capecitabine can dull or get rid of fingerprints.
7) Apple created in 2013 a fingerprint-coded screen lock with the iPhone 5s.
8) Alphonse Bertillon was a French policeman and researcher who capitalized on the fact that each person’s body proportions are different.
Thank you for reading.
