A fingerprint is an imprint made by the pattern of ridges on the pad of a human finger. These ridges are known as dermal ridges. Dermal ridges are not unique to humans, however, and some species of primate are also capable of generating fingerprints. Dermal ridges are commonly believed to provide traction for grasping objects. Fingerprints are usually considered to be unique, with no two fingers having the exact same friction ridge characteristics. A person's fingerprint can be used as a biometric method to identify human individuals.

Finger-prints are marks of identification and are those really thin ridges in the palm of your hand. Each of us carries a different pattern in our finger-print. Such can be used to identify us as a person who signed a document by way of finger-printing or in cases of crime.
