---

• The research of Dermatoglyphics is usually more than 200 yrs. old.
• Dermatoglyphics was mainly used to find skilled sportsmen for Olympics Games in the 1970s.
• Dermatoglyphics is invented by Dr.Harold Cummins.
• Dr.Harold Cummins is certainly acknowledged as the Father of Dermatoglyphics.
• He studied almost all aspects of fingerprints analysis throughout fields.
• Dermatoglyphics was used to Find Genetic disease with the help of fingerprint patterns
• Dermatoglyphics Originated from Down Syndromes Theory.

• Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of fingerprints and refers to the friction ridge formations which appear on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
• Personality can be traced early in the mother’s womb, and it is reflected in fingerprints.Since each person’s fingerprints are unique, we can understand one’s innate potential, personality & preferences by analyzing dermatoglyphics.
• Fingerprint formation begins in the womb itself. These patterns are formed during the fetal development stage, 13 to 19 weeks. Through research, it has been proved that ridged skin pattern formations are controlled by chromosomes, and are influenced by polygenetic inheritance.
• Anatomically the human hands dominate all other organs in terms of relative importance. This is why the brain dedicates the majority of approximately two hundred million nerve endings to the hands. In other words, the hands are sources of physiological and psychological information of any individual.
• Medical and scientific research has proven the fact that there are no two identical fingerprints. These fingerprint patterns remain the same during the lifetime and even after until the complete decomposition of body takes place.
• This science in coordination to the Multiple Intelligence Theory of Dr. Howard Gardner has developed an accurate means to provide latent information of any individual with the help of fingerprint study and analysis. This method of analysis is known as Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT).

Dr. William M. Marston was a psychologist and an anthropologist who after studying

thousands of human behaviors and their personalities developed the concept of

DISC profile. It divides the human personalities into 4 categories i.e. Dominant,

Influential, Steady and Compliant. DISC profile has been in use for many years for

multiple purposes like identifying suitable candidates for sales, marketing,

management, engineering, sports, human resources and every possible domain

requiring suitable manpower.

• Instructional programs should catch the attention of different sorts of intelligence.
• Individuals should be persuaded to use their own preferred intelligence on learning.
• Assessment for learning should evaluate multiple sorts of intelligence

• 1684 –

  Dr.Bidloo published an anatomical atlas, Anatomia Humani Corporis, with illustrations showing the human figure both in living attitudes and as dissected cadavers
• 1686 –
  Dr. Marcello Malphigi (1628-1694) noted in his treatise; ridges, spirals and loops in fingerprints
• 1788 –
  J.C.Mayer was the first to write out basic tenets of fingerprint analysis and theorized that fingerprints were unique
• 1823 –
  Dr. Jan Purkinje classified the papillary lines on the fingertips into nine types: arch, tented arch, ulna loop, radial loop, peacock’s eye/compound, spiral whorl, elliptical whorl, circular whorl, and double loop/composite.
• 1823 –
  Joannes Evangelista Purkinji found that the patterns on one’s finger tips and the ridges and lines on one’s prints begin to form at around the thirteenth week in the womb.
• 1832 –
  Dr. Charles Bell (1774-1842) was one of the first physicians to combine the scientific study of neuro-anatomy with clinical practice. He published The Hand: Its Mechanism and Vital Endowments as Evincing Design.
• 1893 –
  Dr. Francis Galton published his book, “Fingerprints”, establishing the individuality and permanence of fingerprints. The book included the first classification system for fingerprints: Arch, Loop and Whorl.
• 1897 –
  Harris Hawthorne Wilder was the first American to study Dermatoglyphics. He invented the Main Line Index, studied thenarhypothenar eminencies, zones II, III, IV.
• 1926 –
  Dr. Harold Cummins & Dr. Charles Midlo coined the term “Dermatoglyphics”. They showed that the hand contained significant Dermatoglyphics configurations that would assist the identification of mongolism in the new-born child.
• 1936 –
  Dr. Harold Cummins & Dr. Charles Midlo also researched the embryo-genesis of skin ridge patterns and established that the fingerprint patterns actually develop in the womb and are fully formed by the fourth foetal month.
• 1944 –
  Dr Julius Spier Psycho-Analytic Chirologist published “The Hands of Children” he made several significant discoveries especially in the area of psycho-sexual development and the diagnosis of imbalances and problems in this area from the patterns of the hands.
• 1957 –
  Dr.Walker used the dermal configurations in the diagnosis of mongolism
• 1968 –
  Sarah Holt, whose own work ‘The Genetics of Dermal Ridges’ published in 1968, summarizes her research in of dermatoglyphics patterns of both the fingers and the palm in various peoples, both normal and congenitally afflicted.
• 1969 –
  John J. Mulvihill, MD and David W. Smith, MD published The Genesis of Dermatoglyphics that provides the most up to date version of how fingerprints form.
• 1970 –
  USSR,Former Soviet Union. Using Dermatoglyphics in selecting the contestant for Olympics.
• 1976 –
  Schaumann and Alter’s ‘Dermatoglyphics in Medical Disorders’ published.Significant investigations have also been carried out into the dermatoglyphics indicators of congenital heart disease, leukaemia, cancer, rubella embryopathy, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia etc.Dermatoglyphics research being directed into genetic research and the diagnosis of chromosomal defects.
• 1980 –
  China carry out researching work of human potential, intelligence and talents in dermatoglyphics and human genome perspective.
• 1985 –
  Dr. Chen Yi MouPhd. of Havard University research Dermatoglyphics based on Multiple Intelligence theory of Dr. Howard Gardner. First apply dermatoglyphics to educational fields and brain physiology.
• 1986 –
  Nobel Prize in physiology was awarded to Dr. Rita Levi-Montalcini & Dr. Stanley Cohen for discovering the correlation between NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) and EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor).
  2000 –
  Dr. Stowens, Chief of Pathology at St Luke’s hospital in New York, claims to be able to diagnose schizophrenia and leukaemia with up to a 90% accuracy. In Germany, Dr Alexander Rodewald reports he can pinpoint many congenital abnormalities with a 90% accuracy.
• 2004 –
  IBMBS- International Behavioral & Medical Biometrics Society. Over 7000 report and thesis published. Nowadays the U.S., Japan or China, Taiwan apply dermatoglyphics to educational fields, expecting to improve teaching qualities and raising learning efficiency by knowing various learning styles.
