fingerprints
Fingerprints are unique patterns formed by ridges and valleys on the skin of our fingertips. No two individuals, not even identical twins, have the same fingerprint. These patterns develop in the womb and remain unchanged throughout a person's life. Fingerprints are commonly used in forensic science for identification purposes, as they can be matched to known prints in databases. Additionally, they are employed in security systems, such as biometric scanners, to verify identity. Their uniqueness and permanence make fingerprints a reliable means of personal identification.
