History of Dermatoglyphics.........
In 1926,,
Dr.. Harold Cummins & Dr.. Charles Midlo coined the term “Dermatoglyphics”..
They showed that the hand contained significant Dermatoglyphics configurations
that would assist the identification of mongolism in the new-born child..
In 1936,, Dr..
Harold Cummins & Dr.. Charles Midlo also researched the embryo-genesis of
skin ridge patterns and established that the fingerprint patterns actually
develop in the womb and are fully formed by the fourth month..
In 1944,, Dr Julius
Spier Psycho-Analytic Chirologist published “The Hands of Children” he made
several significant discoveries especially in the area of psycho-sexual
development and the diagnosis of imbalances and problems in this area from the
patterns of the hands..
In 1957,, Dr..Walker
used the dermal configurations in the diagnosis of mongolism
In 1968,, Sarah
Holt,, whose own work 'The Genetics of Dermal Ridges' published in 1968,,
summarizes her research in of dermatoglyphics patterns of both the fingers and
the palm in various peoples,, both normal and congenitally afflicted..
In 1969,, John J..
Mulvihill,, MD and David W.. Smith,, MD published The Genesis of
