First one needs to understand what imprinting is. One receives one copy of a gene from the mother, and another from the father. Sometimes the copy from mother or father is silenced, and only the copy from one parent is active. If the only active gene is damaged, it can show up in the form of genetic disease. An example of genomic imprinting, is the mixing of tigers and lions. Who the mother is, has direct effect on the offspring. A mother tiger and a father lion, results in a liger. Ligers are much bigger than either parent. A mother lion and a father tiger, results in a tigon. Tigons are about the same size as their parents. The difference in the two mixes come from genomic imprinting related to the maternal expression of certain genes.

What actually does wolf imprinting means?
In the 'Twilight' series of books by Stephanie Meyer, the werewolves imprint upon humans. What this 'imprinting' means is that it is basically just falling passionately, intensely and madly in love with whoever it is that they choose to imprint with. For example, in the 'New Moon' novel, Sam Uley, the leader of the werewolf pack, imprints upon Emily. Upon imprinting on the young woman, he loses interest in all other women, and Emily becomes like the centre of his universe. Imprinting works both ways, though, meaning that Emily will love Sam just as strongly as he loves her. Edward Cullen describes imprinting as nearly the way that he feels about Bella Swan - true love. But imprinting does not always necessarily mean LOVE (as in romantic love). Imprinting means that they will become, for you, whatever you need. If you need a friend, they are your very best friend. If you need a brother/sister, that is what they become for you.
Does imprinting take place in humans?
No, imprinting is limited to birds and a few other animals. Humans form attachments.

no
Why is imprinting valuable to newborn animals?
imprinting is important as the ideal mate has to be found to keep the blood line going and makin sure of warewolf's survival
How do you tell if you have been imprinted?
Humans don't imprint on things. imprinting means once and animal is born, the first thing that it sees it is attached to. For example: ducks imprint.
