"Fingerprints" are impressions made by the ridge detail on your fingers. "Genetic fingerprints" is a term usually used to refer to identification methods such as DNA. Fingerprint identification has been used for many years - the 1st US criminal court case was in 1911 - and newer identification methods such as DNA analysis often compare themselves to existing methods with the existing terminology to show their similar dependability.

These two different methods are both very useful but each has it's own strengths and limitations. For example. identical twins have the same DNA, but not the same fingerprints.
