Abstract

Friction ridges are important and unique biometric features that have been studied in fingerprint science since antiquity and used for human identification. This study aimed to analyze palmprints and soleprints of Callithrix penicillata, including the description of flexion creases, regions, minutiae classification, and delta counting, in order to evaluate the uniqueness of these data and feasibility of using this information as an identification method. Palmprints and footprints were collected using commercial fingerprint ink on A4 size paper. Following image digitalization using the GIMP (2.10.14) image editing program, regions and flexion creases were identified. A total of 600 minutiae were classified in females (288 palms and 312 soles) and 732 in males (360 palms and 372 soles), and all deltas were counted. It was possible to identify three main inconstant flexion creases, in both palmprints and soleprints, with different distribution and orientation when compared to those in humans. Less variety in the types of minutiae and differences in the distribution of deltas were found when compared to human studies. In addition, the hypothesis of non-coincident characteristics in each sample was confirmed.

分析黑尾狨（Callithrix penicillata）的掌纹和鞋底纹：它们与人类有相似之处吗？

摩擦纹是重要而独特的生物特征，自古以来指纹科学界一直在对其进行研究，并将其用于人类身份识别。本研究旨在分析Callithrix penicillata的掌纹和足印，包括对屈折皱纹、区域、细微特征分类和delta计数的描述，以评估这些数据的独特性以及将这些信息用作识别方法的可行性。掌纹和脚印是使用商业指纹墨水在 A4 纸上采集的。使用 GIMP（2.10.14）图像编辑程序对图像进行数字化处理后，确定了区域和弯曲折痕。共对 600 个女性（288 个手掌和 312 个足底）和 732 个男性（360 个手掌和 372 个足底）的细节点进行了分类，并对所有三角洲进行了计数。在掌纹和足底纹中都能识别出三种主要的不稳定屈曲皱纹，其分布和方向与人类不同。与人类研究相比，细部特征的种类较少，三角区的分布也存在差异。此外，每个样本中的非巧合特征的假设也得到了证实。

期刊介绍： Primates is an international journal of primatology whose aim is to provide a forum for the elucidation of all aspects of primates. The oldest primatological journal, Primates publishes original papers that advance the scientific study of primates, and its scope embraces work in diverse fields covering biological bases of behavior, socio-ecology, learning and cognition, social processes, systematics, evolution, and medicine. Contributions relevant to conservation of natural populations and welfare of captive primates are welcome. Studies focusing on nonprimate species may be considered if their relevance to primatology is clear. Original Articles as well as Review Articles, News and Perspectives, and Book Reviews are included. All manuscripts received are initially screened for suitability by members of the Editorial Board, taking into account style and ethical issues, leading to a swift decision about whether to send the manuscript for external review.
