  • non-identical fingerprints in twins

    From warmfuzzy@700:100/37 to All on Tue May 7 17:32:55 2024
    I went learning about more odd security intelligence facts and found something that struck me as intriguing. Apparently, though everything in identical twins may be closely similiar between children, their finger prints are actually different. Yes, even though twins are suppoesd to be the same one to the next, their fingerprints are actually totally different. So those TV shows that have twins who are good and evil and the good guy is mistaken for a bad guy---well that just wouldn't work in actual science, that isn't reality.

    Why the fingerprints are different is unknown, but it proves that even though you may have an identical twin, each twin is their own person, and not just some copy.

    Cheers!

    Physical characteristics depend on a genetics subject to environmental factors during development.

    In Fingerprints the development is largely pre-birth.

    Some of the other characteristics that later can identify a person are more influence by environmental factors post birth.

    As finger prints often are sampled to match, not all variances create enough distinction in automated review.
