Fingerprints are like tiny maps on your fingers. Just like how everyone has a different face, no two people have the same fingerprint. They come in shapes like loops and whorls because of little ridges and valleys on the skin. These patterns help us grip things and even solve mysteries, like finding out who touched something.
Examples
- A baby’s fingerprints might look like a messy painting, while an adult's are more organized.
- You can tell apart your brother and sister by just looking at their thumbs.
- Fingerprint patterns help people know who touched a door knob or a phone.
