  Wow. So men and women are so distinct that you can even differentiate between them by their fingerprints?

  For anyone else wondering:

  Female fingerprints typically contain more densely packed ridges than male prints in the same area. These measurements were then compared against ridge density patterns found in contemporary Egyptian populations. … The sex could not be determined for children.
