 | Fingerprints by Colin Beavan
When fingerprint identification was invented around the turn of the 20th century, forensic science was crude, and, often, not scientific at all (as in the case of anthropometrics, which sought to identify criminal types by measuring the proportions of their bodies). But the revolutionary practice of fingerprint identification still had to travel a long and tumultuous road to widespread acceptance. In this engaging history, Colin Beavan traces that road.
