Who among the following is called as the father of fingerprint science ?
Answer: C
The key names Galton as the father of fingerprint science.
Sir Francis Galton's Finger Prints (1892) gave the first scientific study of fingerprints: he showed that they are individual and persist unchanged through life, and described the minutiae (ridge characteristics) still used today. For this he is widely called the father of fingerprint science.
William Herschel used fingerprints for identification in Bengal earlier, and Edward Henry devised the classification system adopted by Scotland Yard, but neither established the science as Galton did. Edmond Locard is known for the exchange principle.
