GIRON IRUESTE, Fernando e GUIRAO PINEYRO, Miguel. "Influence of epidermal friction and wear on papillary patterns": unpublished fingerprinting experiments by Federico Olóriz Aguilera (1855-1912). Dynamis [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.1, pp.177-191. ISSN 2340-7948. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0211-95362015000100008.
Federico Olóriz introduced in Spain a method of identification based on fingerprints that is now used in various other countries. Among the numerous studies he performed for this purpose is a hitherto unpublished experiment reported in this paper. The objective was to test whether fleshy parts of fingers that undergo manipulation can maintain their dermal folds in a manner that permits their correct identification. Olóriz found that dermal folds produced by a simple ligation did not pose serious identification problems, while alterations resulting from sharp elements generated greater but in some way surmountable difficulties. A brief biography of Olóriz is first provided, with a summary of his studies on Anthropology and, in greater detail, his dedication to Forensic Anthropology, which led to the development of the so-called "Olóriz Method" of identification by means of fingerprints.
