Abstract
The fingerprint is a bi-product of the human evolutionary cycle, as such it reflects results of our genetic composition. The intelligence of human beings is also manifested in our genetic make-up. We can therefore look at the dermal ridge arrangements as an indicator of the intelligence/ability for individuals. This article describes the use of the friction ridge formations to draw attention to this phenomenon.
Introduction
I have developed the serenity to realize the significance of the radial loop. It does not appear on the digits that often. One can say that when it comes to the radial loop pattern it is on the other side of the spectrum in that the ulnar loop is its complete and total opposite. I feel it appropriate to make the case that there is something about the radial loop that is beyond its physical characteristics. The scientific community confirms that much of our physical appearance is a result of our genetic make-up. And fingerprints are as well. We can also say that our intelligence has a genetic manifestation. If the fingerprint on the person is rare, is the individual unusual in their way of thinking? To this question I would have to say yes. This opinion is consistent with the discovery that very interesting personages displayed the radial loop pattern. I would therefore say that someone who has a rare fingerprint classification in a given population should be noteworthy for scientific study.
The following individuals displayed the radial loop pattern at very low frequencies compared to a study of 17,951,192 male individuals using the National crime information center fingerprint classification system (NCIC FPC): (Table 1).

Note: In the book entitled the Science of Fingerprints by the FBI (Project Gutenberg eBook, Page 74, 10th
August 2006) it is stated: “In figure 306, the impression has two equally good loop formations. As it has but one delta, it cannot be classified as a whorl of the double loop type nor as a loop since it would be difficult to make a preferential choice between the two looping ridges. It is arbitrarily given the classification of a tented arch”. Such is the case of the #5 fingerprint of Dr. MLK, Jr. However, due to the fact that one of the two loop formations display a radial appearance it falls into the category of a fingerprint with a radial profile.
This is a noted case for the #8 fingerprint of Ms. Billie Holiday. Ms. Holiday displayed a Central Pocket Loop Type Whorl pattern with an outer tracing (NCIC FPC =CO). However, it had a radial appearance. The number of females with CO on the 8th digit in the following study is 18030. The percentage is 0.417987996. A radial appearance is the focal point in this discussion [1-4].
