Background: Since evolution handwriting is one of the most efficient acquired characteristic by any individual. It is an amalgamation of nature and nurture. Learning begins prenatally, and children are not only “ready to learn” but already actively learning from the time they are born. Parents lay the foundation stone of their child’s pre-writing skills. Moreover, genes also play a crucial role in determining certain characteristics of handwriting. Result: The present study focuses on determination of similarities in handwriting among three generations in 100 families through analysis of pre-defined class characteristics. It was observed that the “Alignment” of handwriting show high level of similarity in two generations whereas the “Movement” was the only handwriting characteristics that show high level of similarity in all the three generations. Conclusion: Therefore, to conclude it can be inferred that the father-son relationship (grandfather & father or father & son) depicts majority of similarities in the handwriting characteristics which might be due to the dominance of male gene.
