Overview
Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of epidermal ridge patterns present on fingers, palms, toes, and soles. These patterns are genetically determined and remain unchanged throughout life. Dermatoglyphic analysis has wide applications in medical genetics, psychology, anthropology, forensic science, and behavioral studies.
This course aims to provide systematic theoretical knowledge and practical skills in dermatoglyphic pattern recognition, recording techniques, and interpretation, thereby supporting skill-based learning under NEP-2020 and enhancing employability and research competence.
Course Objectives-
- Introduce fundamentals and history of dermatoglyphics.
- Explain embryological and genetic basis of ridge formation.
- Train learners in fingerprint and palmar pattern identification.
- Provide hands-on experience in dermatoglyphic recording techniques.
- Demonstrate medical, psychological, and forensic applications.
- Develop analytical and ethical interpretation skills.
