1891 - Vucetich. Juan Vucetich, an Argentine Police Official, began the first fingerprint files based on Galton pattern types. At first, Vucetich included the Bertillon System with the files.
@@MarysusanNoll I was going to mention Vuchetich. The thing I find most fascinating about him, coming decades after his death, is that when the FBi, which uses the Henry classification system arrested Brandon Mayfield for the 2004 Madrid train bombings, the Spanish National Police, using the Vucetich classification system which organises fingerprints into 101 distinct types, immediately excluded Mayfield because they regarded the prints as not even similar, and instead correctly identified Ouhnane Daoud as the source of the print.
@@davidcookmfs6950 That particular case is a fascinating one. It shows how the combination of human error, supposition, and technology can combine together to arrive at a precisely wrong answer!
Azizul Haque and Hem Chandra Bose, were two statisticians recruited by Sir Edward Henry to utilise anthropometry in the advancement of the science. It was Haque who first derived the subdivision of fingerprints records into 1024 different groups that became the basis of the system for fingerprint classification, subsequently credited to Sir Edward Henry and is universally called the Henry system of classification. Haque and Bose both went on to have careers with the Bengal Police Service and have long been recognised within the worldwide fingerprint community. The Fingerprint Division has decided that the contribution of these two pioneers, who were young researchers employed in developing forensic identification methods, should be recognised by encouraging others within the field.
In the early days imagine being the cop whose job it was to match 1 print to a database of thousands of ink prints by hand/eye. You would have to hire a few savants i reckon.
I find when I am teaching fingerprint analysis, some students hate it with a passion and some take to it like a duck to water. People who think in visual terms and find patterns easily seem to have an easier time. But that is just my experience.
Sucks that these studies were done when slavery was in full force and funding these people who pretty much lived a lavish life. These guys could invest their time in books, studies, and research without being killed, beaten, raped, murdered, enslaved permanently...All these people probably took credit and used others as testing subjects. credit is for these people sure, but they would of found nothing if not for corruption of mankind.

I didn't mention Vucetich here, because I have my students do a separate research project on his work, and I don't want to spill the beans!

Nicely done. I am using this video as part of a training for Boy Scouts earning their Fingerprinting merit badge.
lol
The nobe life
That is great! I'm so glad to hear that it is being used that way.
What rank are you? I know this is 3 years + old so just wondering if you have achieved eagle, or star/ life (high ranks)
same

Erkan Gökşen thank you so much for adding this to our discussion!!!
Superb narration. Very nicely done.🐾
In the past, despite the lack of facilities, how did people recognize their fingerprints?
Generally, they were not analyzed in great detail prior to the 1900's. And even then, a magnifying glass and a good set of eyes were the best tools.
In the early days imagine being the cop whose job it was to match 1 print to a database of thousands of ink prints by hand/eye.

Is it possible to distinguish the fingerprints of different people from each other only with the naked eye?
It depends upon the minutae present, but some may be!
what about Juan Vucetich
Ah...good old Juan. I usually teach an entire lesson on Vucetich and his travails and cases, so I don't spoil it here for my students.
Great Video!!! Very enlightening!
Glad it was helpful!
1924 or 1926? you said 1926 in the video. I dont know if it was a mistake or not.
I believe 1924 is the correct answer.
Yes, 1924.
pls post more !
I have a list in the making! More on Fingerprinting soon to come!
@@MarysusanNoll still waitin

Hey Lizz!
Thanks, helped me a lot with my boy scouts badge.
Glad I could help
I love you Mary!
Fingerprint was discovered by a police officer in Bangladesh.Edward Henry was a cheater and he took the whole credit
THE BACROUND MUSIC IS ANNOYING
I have to admit, if I could go back and change it, I would.
That minecraft music in background XD
Hey, at least it isn't 8-bit!
Good video. Wrong music
Looking back, if I could switch it, I would. :) Maybe this is a video I will revisit in the future.
Prof Gumpal brought me here.
hello
I am here because of stupid ass finals
it was ok
1926 or 1924
It is 1924. I misspoke, but didn't realize it at the time. :)
