No.

Just as men are often, but not always, larger than women... the overall size of their fingerprints (and hands/palms/feet/toes) can be larger. It's about as meaningful as looking at combat boot prints at a military base. The smaller boot prints may belong to average sized women, or men with small feet... or juvenile boys or girls who bought boots at the Army surplus store.

Do male fingerprints have different characteristics from that of a female?
