Dermatoglyphics (from Ancient Greek derma, "skin", and glyph, "carving") is the scientific study of fingerprints, lines, mounts and shapes of hands. Dermatoglyphics refers to the making of naturally occurring ridges on certain body parts, namely palms, fingers, soles, and toes. These are areas where hair usually does not grow, and these ridges allow for increased leverage when picking up objects or walking barefoot. The fingerprints of both hands are not the same. They do not change size or shape throughout a person's life, except in cases of serious injuries that scar the dermis. * As a term, dermatoglyphics is used to distinguish it from the superficially similar pseudoscience of palmistry. Recently, the scientific basis underlying dermatoglyphics was questioned by the National Academy of Sciences in a 2009 report for relying on subjective comparisons instead of conclusions drawn from the scientific method. |
