Mouse Mat : Human and gorilla handprint
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Human and gorilla handprint
Human and gorilla handprints. On the left is a handprint from the left hand of a human adult male. On the right is a print from the right hand of a young gorilla, taken from an illustration in Dr Henry Fauldss Guide to Finger-print Identification, 1905. Faulds, a Scottish scientist, was an early developer of fingerprint analysis. He used the print of a gorilla, named Chloe, kept at the Zoological Societys Gardens (now London Zoo) in Regents Park, London. This comparison of prints shows the different patterns of palmar creases. For the human handprint alone, see image H200/411, for the gorilla print, see H200/409

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing comparison between a human and gorilla handprint. On the left, we see the distinct imprint of a human adult male's left hand, while on the right, we are presented with a print from the right hand of a young gorilla named Chloe. This illustration was taken from Dr Henry Faulds' renowned Guide to Finger-print Identification in 1905. Dr Faulds, an esteemed Scottish scientist and pioneer in fingerprint analysis, utilized Chloe's print from London Zoo to study and understand different patterns of palmar creases. The monochrome drawing beautifully captures this historical moment in scientific research. The image evokes curiosity about our shared ancestry with primates as well as highlights the advancements made by Dr Faulds in forensic science during the early 20th century. The intricate details within each handprint provide valuable insights into identification techniques and recognition technology used at that time. This thought-provoking duo allows us to compare and analyze fingerprints for both humans and animals alike. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature while showcasing how scientific discoveries can transcend species boundaries. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece of history, it is fascinating to witness how fingerprints have played an essential role not only in identifying individuals but also understanding their place within the animal kingdom.
