Dermatoglyphics

Deciphering the Code in the Hand Glyphs

Fingerprints and Skin Ridges are known as Dermatoglyphics.

When I first learned about hieroglyphics on a visit to the local museum, I realized what I wanted to do when I grew up.  I wanted to be an archaeologist, visit far away lands and translate hieroglyphics. My dream was spoiled when I became aware that they had already been deciphered. Many decades later I realized that I was actively participating in that dream, not in far away Egypt, but instead the topography of hands in the mysterious and fascinating fields of dermatoglyphics.
