I have no idea, but the first person to use the finger print was Sir Walter Herschel. He was a magistrate in India and felt that personal contact would bind the contracts he made with the natives would bind them even more.

Alec Jeffreys, who invented DNA fingerprinting in 1984 at Leicester University, UK, says he performed single cell analysis in 1988 - it is a "fantastic" research tool. But he argues that it should not be routinely used in fingerprinting, because of the possibility of contamination by innocent people.
