The project focuses on two aspects of this history: (1) the development of fingerprint identification as a tool of policing and forensics, and (2) how fingerprint patterning has been studied in the modern life sciences, especially in the fields of anthropology, human genetics, and medical genetics. The history of the latter is much less well known than that of the former, and one of the goals of this project is to fill that gap in our historical understanding.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>This website has the following two goals:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>(1) To provide educators in the humanities, social sciences, and STEM disciplines with resources for teaching the history and present-day circumstances of fingerprinting, with special attention given to the multifaceted interactions that have always existed between fingerprinting and scientific knowledge. This historical dynamic connects directly to\u00a0how the field of latent fingerprint evidence is changing today.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>(2) To provide resources for teaching the history of race in science and, specifically, how scientific disciplines such as physical anthropology and dermatoglyphics (the scientific study of fingerprints and palm patterning) have constructed notions of racial identity and difference in modern times. This has not only been an important part of the history of fingerprinting, but speaks to technical questions &#8211; still relevant today &#8211; about how fingerprint patterning is studied at the level of populations and not simply individuals.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Starting from these goals, this website provides two main resources:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Modules: Short narratives (approximately 1-2 single-spaced pages each) that discuss particular historical and conceptual themes in the history of fingerprinting and its use today. These narratives (like the video lectures, described below) are based on peer-reviewed scholarship, including publications that have grown out of this research project.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Video lectures: Short video lectures, composed of slides and voiceover, that provide additional detail about particular issues that are raised in the modules. Each video has a corresponding set of multiple choice and true\/false questions that instructors can use to evaluate students\u2019 comprehension of the material. Instructors should email <a href=\"mailto:daniel.asen@rutgers.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">daniel.asen@rutgers.edu<\/a> for these materials.<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>The modules and video lectures can be assigned together (reading the narrative and watching the videos) or separately (only reading the narratives or only watching the videos). Furthermore, each module and video lecture can be assigned individually, in different combinations, or as a complete set.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>For example, an assignment that focuses on introducing the field of latent print evidence could use the &#8220;Making Modern Fingerprinting&#8221; module and videos only (or could combine it with &#8220;Fingerprinting and Science Today,&#8221; which brings the narrative provided in &#8220;Making Modern Fingerprinting&#8221; up to the present). An assignment that is more focused on the use of fingerprints in the life sciences could focus on &#8220;Fingerprints and Science&#8221; and &#8220;Fingerprints, Race, and Population&#8221; instead.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>See below for an overview of the themes and concepts that are covered in each of these resources.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Modules<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/fingerprinting\/introduction-what-are-fingerprints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Introduction: What are Fingerprints?<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Overview: <\/strong>Introduces the concept of friction ridge skin and its biological function.

On this basis, explains why the scientific construction of &#8220;race&#8221; in dermatoglyphics was arbitrary and flawed.
