Father of modern fingerprint

The title "Father of Modern Fingerprinting" is often attributed to Sir Francis Galton, a British scientist who conducted pioneering research on the uniqueness and permanence of fingerprints in the late 19th century. His work laid the foundation for the systematic use of fingerprints in criminal identification. Additionally, it was Edward Henry, a British police official, who developed the Henry Classification System, further formalizing fingerprint identification methods. Together, their contributions significantly advanced forensic science and criminal investigations.
