520			_aThis textbook is a part of "Friction Ridge Print: Principles and Best Practices in Examination," which comes in six (6) separate but interwoven series of books. It sets the background, and outlines the historical development, of fingerprint science in Europe, North America, and Asia, though few of our books available in the local market falls short on verifying the information that it supposed to impart to our students, like, naming Marcelo Malpighi as the "grandfather of fingerprints or dactyloscopy", and Johannes Evangelist Purkinji as the "father of Dactyloscopy", while one Criminology instructor, in his loose leaf instructional material, considered Edmond Locard as yet another "Father of Dactyloscopy". While, review materials in the college of criminology are proliferating that Sir Edward Richard Henry is the "Father of Fingerprints". The attribution of different personalities to those identical titles may add confusions as it provides conflicting information to the students. This confusion is perhaps the result of the absence of clear-cut understanding regarding the role of each "pioneer" in the study of friction ridge skin: as pioneer in the friction ridge skin research or as pioneer in the application of friction ridge skin for personal identification. --Back cover of the book.
