  • Summary

  • Today we’re zooming in… waaay in… on something you carry with you every single day, on every single finger.


    That’s right, today’s question is:

    Why do we have fingerprints?


    I mean, have you ever looked closely at your fingertips? Those tiny swirls and loops and whorls? They’re like little mazes carved into your skin.


    But why are they there? What do they do? And do other animals have them too?


    Let’s dig into the ridges and see what we can uncover.
