Differentiability of humans from one another taking into account various traits has been the foremost objective of researchers. Uniqueness in everything from cell to soul is a pressing feature in humans. From a walk of a person (gait patterns), the body, the body odor to the shape of the ears, the backside and skull shape and so on, scientists are discovering many astonishing ways of identifying an individual from the other seven billion people in the world.
