Inhalt:

Francis Galton's "Finger Prints" explores how human identity can be read from the smallest traces of the body. Focusing on fingerprints, Galton argues that the patterns on our fingers are not only highly distinctive but also stable enough over a lifetime to serve as reliable evidence. He discusses the practical value of these marks for classification and identification, showing how careful observation and systematic comparison can transform something seemingly minor into a powerful tool for solving questions of authorship, responsibility, and personal recognition. The work lays important groundwork for the scientific thinking behind fingerprinting and the broader idea that nature leaves uniquely identifying signatures. Finger Prints is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1892.
