If the human hand is "Nature's Swiss army knife"... how would you advertise its versatility?

There is only 10 minutes left on this great versatile tool the hand. Can you slice, dice and chop with it, of course when you hold a Ginsu knife (voice over: knife sold separately), BUT what can it really do, here is a little list of each digit:\n\n1.The thumb- Be like Roger Ebert, thumbs up good thumbs down bad.\n2.The forefinger - great for passing the blame - tired of getting the blame, use this finger to point at someone else, sit back and watch the fun.\n3. The middle finger - great for letting a person know how much you like them.\n4. The ring finger - great for marriage, better for divorces (no ring, better action)\n5. The little finger-The handiest cleaning device ever made, need to clean your ears - no problem. It even cleans your nose.\n\nand what holds them together you may ask? The palm, used for those times you need to hold tools, or simply bitch slap that special someone!\n\nAnd with me counting, YES you can use the fingers for math and counting we have 5 minutes left. Act now, and we will throw in another hand....like they say two hands are better than one, and with the second hand never have another 'lonely' night.\n\nThis is the last of out inventory...act now don't be left out.

There are a variety of options, some intermingled.  Retina scan, DNA digitally encoded, digitized finger and palm prints, just to name a few.  The technology, at this point in time, is so good that the average jerk is not able to circumvent the process.  What does a person's age have to doe with it?  Nothing.

You have simply found a unique viewpoint.  Americans, by percentage, are no more left-handed than any other culture.  The dominance of one hand over the other, at this point, seems to be a simply random occurance.  Right handed people, of course, ARE more prevelent..as is proven by the fact that most items used are geared toward right handed folk.  Speaking as an ambidextrous person, I have the best of both worlds..especially the time I broke my right hand. :o)

It is all right to listen to everyone but bottom line, think for yourself. You know our bodies are good. You also know that exercise strengthens us, so using a tool more often is just going to make it function better, period. This has no connection whatsoever to aging or anything else. By the way, the same junk ideas foisted off on us guys is that somehow we might be able to make it bigger. There is no way. Can you make your finger bigger, or your nose? So also, common sense wins out. Again, think for yourself.

Lots of guys love nature.  Think of all the "manly" activities that are all about being in the natural world - fishing, hiking, mountain climbing, hunting, biking, canoeing, surfing, camping.  The list goes on.  I love doing anything, if it takes me outside.  The natural world provides nourishment for the soul!

Well, you could have a knife taped to your hand, aiming to stab yourself...

The way to use a knife and fork is to hold the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left with its tines (prongs) pointing downwards.\nIn England (and western Europe) we find it odd to see Americans cut up their food as we do for our young children then use the fork like a shovel.\nWe are far too polite to make an issue out of this and assume you will eventually get the hang of it.\n\nNo white socks! Where on earth did you get that strange idea from?

Five fingers, one of those fingers is an opposable thumb used for grasping and hitting the Space Bar. \n\nOur primate ancestors which had the thumb mutation benefited from it most and used hand-held weapons like sticks and rocks to strike down rival clans for territory and resources. Their children survived well with the thumbs, and then the enlarged brain mutation occured next.\n\n\nWhat would be great is a second thumb on the other side of the hand-- that would be very useful. Maybe the next intelligent species will have that. Imagine the amount of work that could be done with two pairs of thumbs.\n\nBefore fingers they were the spiny projections of fish fins. Amphibians had five digit feet and hands. These evolved from fish. From amphibians came early reptiles, and from the reptiles came birds and mammals and even more types reptiles including snakes and lizards, which all use the hands, feet, and appendages differently due to genetic mutation.\n\nSometimes the brains of these animals still contain information on how to use the appendages for unnecessary purposes, like a crippled bird would use its wing arms to help it aid in land locomotion. A snake might be able to twitch its little rudimentary legs which are inside its body if it wanted to.\n\nSometimes these animals may have a mutation where (for example) wings could bear exposed fingers, or rudimentary legs may become grossly elongated. It is up to natural selection whether these mutated animals survive, thrive, or die off.\n\nIn our case, the thumb mutation was beneficial.\n\nThe big toe mutation was sort of unnecessary but it doesn't hold us back at all, really.

Dr d is right, everything depends on the environment and our own selection choices, however s/he is wrong to say these cannot be predicted.\n\nOne can predict that we will live less active lives and will have less requirement for fitness, altough that is not to say that fitness traits will be lost.  There is absolutely no reason for us to go bals or lose fingers if there is no selection for them.\n\nIf man stopped using his little finger (pinky) it would not be lost this is because change only occurs when there is pressure for it to do so.  Man would be no less 'fit' with or without the fifth finger so it would remain, unless men and women decied it was sexy to have four fingers and only individuals with smaller fifth fingers ever bred.  This would cause a shift towards fewer digits, but come on, this would not happen.  \n\nOther answers are correct for saying that our diets and environmental conditions may affect our health and body weight.  For example diabetes is becoming more prevalent in the USA so we might expect natural cases of diabetes to increase, but in 2000yrs it is likely this will have been addressed.

i would say, based on the human body being symetrical, if we only had one hand, it would have to be in the middle of our chest. that could be dangerous i think.
