In 'Fingerprints', Colin Beavan reconstructs the fascinating history of dactyloscopy, from its origins to its consolidation as a key tool in the science of criminal identification. The author explores the efforts of the pioneers of this technique, their scientific and legal challenges, and the first criminal cases in which it was applied. Through an engaging narrative, Beavan reveals how the handprint, an identifying sign of humanity since ancient times, evolved to become irrefutable evidence in criminal investigation.
Colin Beavan is an American non-fiction writer and internet blogger noted for recording the attempts of his family to live a "zero impact" lifestyle in New York City for one year.
