Why do humans have lifelong, unique fingerprints? Why doesn't a tiger change its stripes? Is there a universal mechanism behind the formation of their patterns? I will answer these age-old questions by developing a generic theory of pattern morphogenesis that captures healing, scar formation, and the interplay between pattern formation and shape change in growing organisms.
