| | Tangled Web UK Review - Fingerprints by Colin Beavan March 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Three key British players were William Herschel, a colonial administrator, Henry Faulds, a missionary who worked in Japan, and Charles Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton. |
 | | While they were contributing to the science originally known as 'dactylography', on the continent, Alphonse Bertillon was devising a different and complex system based on measurements of different parts of the body. |
