In ancient Babylon, fingerprints were used primarily for identification and record-keeping purposes. They served as a form of personal signature in transactions, legal documents, and contracts, helping to establish ownership and accountability. The unique patterns of fingerprints made them an effective means of verifying identity, which was essential in trade and commerce during that time. This early use of fingerprints laid the groundwork for their later application in forensic science.
