Around 200 samples of fingerprints were analyzed, compared, collected, evaluated as well as verified by the students of Indian and African regions studying in the common university altogether in India. The fingerprints are also collected then classified and distributed among the three patterns of whorls, arches, and loops within the Indian and African regions. Samples of the 10-digit fingerprints are taken so that the differences among the fingerprints within the Indian region as well as African region needs to be identified on the basis of analyzing the 10-digit fingerprints on behalf of evaluating the interracial comparison on behalf of the sexual dimorphism.
