Federico Olóriz y Aguilera (1855-1912), born in Granada (Andalusia, Southern Spain), friend of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Physician, Professor of Anatomy in the ...
Born in 1855, he entered the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Granada at the age of sixteen. After graduating, he works at the Hospital of San Juan de Dios , where he becomes director, while developing his research on anatomy , which will take him to the chair of the area at the Central University of Madrid. There he maintains contact with recognized figures such as Ramón y Cajal , being able to work in fields such as anthropology (he studies the cephalic index in Spain) and the treatment of cholera ( see : Cholera pandemics in Spain ). Despite having devoted a large part of his professional life to pure science, it is a technical application that finds the greatest resonance, by developing a pioneering technique of fingerprinting (identification by fingerprints).
Creator of the fingerprint identification system used in Spain and Portugal before the advent of computer systems, Dr. Federico Olóriz Aguilera took Vucetich's classification system as the basis of his classification system, which established four types of dactylograms based on the nucleus. Olóriz also groups the dactylograms into four fundamental types, classified according to the delta. The absence or presence of the delta and its number and situation, when it exists, determines the group to which it belongs. According to what has been said, in the Spanish system, any dactylogram must belong to one of the following four groups:
First type: A - Adeltos (without delta)
Second type: D - Dextrodeltos (with a delta on the right)
Third type: S - Sinistrodeltos (with a delta on the left)
Fourth type: V - Bideltos (with two or more deltas)
Since the fingerprints are shown inverted, it is necessary to agree on an agreement to determine the right and left side of the fingerprint. Thus, the observer is traditionally considered as the right side. For a more detailed classification, Olóriz Aguilera identified and named up to 10 characteristics of fingerprints that would help reduce the number of comparisons necessary for the identification of an individual in a database.
