The science Maintains that two people can’t have the same fingerprintseven if they are identical twins. This is because the fingerprints are unique and they are determined genetically, but also because they are affected by environmental factors during embryonic development. Even in identical twins, who share the same genetic information, fingerprints are different due to unique conditions in the womb and other environmental factors.
However, until now it was also thought that it was not possible for two fingerprints to be the same, not even on different fingers of the same person. But it is possible. A recent study has just shown surprising results: las fingerprints from different fingers from the same person are extremely similar.

And the statement that two different people cannot have the same fingerprints is not entirely true either. In fact, more than 15 years ago, triplets were born in Barcelona that had identical fingerprints, a strange case that then, in 2007, was said to have only two known precedents in Europe.
With these premises, therefore, it is perhaps more appropriate to say that the probability of two people having identical fingerprints is extremely low and is considered practically impossible.
