RE: Humans Can Punch - And We're The Only Ones Who Can
Only we can curl our fingers to the palm and lock over with a thumb.
wew, didnt know this! I thought monkey type animals can also do that as they have almost similar hands like us. Interesting article. :)
It's to do with the dimensions of the hand. Apes generally have longer palms. All have longer fingers and thumb and the thumbs tend to be at a more obtuse angle so when they curl to make a fist there's a kind of donut shape not a clench. Then the thumb doesn't wrap over. Thanks for reading. I'm pleased it was of interest.
ow. thts cool. learnt a lot of new info from ur post. :)
Thank you - that's the point ;) More to come in the future.
