Identical Twin Fingerprints


fingerprint Ever wonder about identical twin fingerprints? Even though identicals share the same DNA, their fingerprints will always be slightly different. Due to all of the environmental factors in the womb during development (blood pressure, growth rate, etc.) fingerprints will evolve into their own unique patterns. Just like one twin may have a freckle or birthmark that the other does not. It's all Mother Nature's way of interpreting identical DNA in two separate humans. Identical twins will, though, share similar fingerprint patterns more so than fraternal twins, or any other human beings for that matter. Parents, as well as the general public seem to be intrigued by this particular phenomenon. It is interesting to note that from a purely genetic point of view, identical twins are indistinguishable. Whereas, something as simple as fingerprints will always distinguish one from the other.
