new ways to discover DNA testing on a regular. DNA testing holds many facets in a numerous

of situations. DNA has changed the dynamic of the world in a cultural, social, economic, and

environmental setting. Advancement in this type of testing is forever changing for the

betterment of people.

DNA testing has made a significant difference in our society. It is something that is

always evolving using technology. In this essay I will explain the background of DNA and

testing, the advantages & disadvantages of DNA testing, and the reason it is evolving in

technology today.

, History

Fingerprinting dates back to the Egyptian Era (Jain, A.K., 2010). It is a method that has

been used mostly and efficiently. In the prehistoric era paintings and writings were found with

unique prints from fingers. Once they realize this is a way to identify different people, they

capitalized on it. Back then it was tablets made from clay to conduct any legal documents or

deals.

Fingerprints were used all over the world just in many ways and reasons. China used the

thumbprint to sign papers. As time moved on, the more unique patterns found the more studies

they conducted. IN 1686, Marcello Malpighi an Anatomy Professor was the first to study prints

like the loops, spirals, and ridges of the finger but didn’t come forth with using this for

identification. They named a layer of skin after him called Malpighi layer. Research did not stop

there. They decided to explore along the same avenue but, trying to advance farther than the last

person. By 1858, Sir Herschel, William used fingerprints to sign contract with the Native

Indians. This was a method created to frighten the Native people not to refute the contract.

A British official Edward Richard Henry stationed in India began to research and develop

a system to identify criminals to serve justice. Sir Henry was the first to successfully use the

Fingerprint system. Mr. Alphonse Bertillon in Paris, France of the Bureau of ID was the first to

trial a case with a fingerprint without a suspect. The print was lifted from the homicide area and

compared to ones that had been collected on file. Back then I can guarantee that it was a lot of

manual recordkeeping going on. A lot of paper was used to keep all of this information as well.

New and improved technology have come a very long way. Department of Justice uses a

system that starts from birth. The system is still used today as a means to find fingerprint

evidence to prove a case or just to verify the person. The record keeping is no longer by hand,

the fingerprints are done on a computerized machine.
