Abstract The main focus of this experiment was to understand the change of fingerprints depending on a person's ethnicity, biological relation, and gender. Testing different races and genders should prove if the hypothesis is right or wrong. The procedure that was followed was to take a person's fingerprint on paper and check, using a magnifying glass, if they had some similarities with other people.
