The idea that paternity can be determined by the similarity of line patterns on the palms of a father and his offspring is a myth and lacks scientific support. While palmistry and some cultural beliefs suggest connections between palm patterns and familial traits, there is no empirical evidence to validate this claim. Genetic traits, including fingerprints and palm lines, are inherited, but their patterns do not reliably indicate paternity. For accurate determination of paternity, DNA testing is the scientifically accepted method.

How do you establish paternity without the father?

Uh... you don't. The only way paternity can be established or denied is by comparing the offspring to the parent. If there's a DNA match, you win the prize. If you don't have a parent, there's nothing to compare to. In other words, you can't just sample the offspring's blood and then say, "Whoops! Looks like ol' Ed's got another mouth to feed...." You need Ed.
