SHAPE OF THE HAND.
Tho Reason Our Fingers Are Not An
Of the Same Length.

The Reason Our Fingers Are Not An
Of the Same Length.
There Is no known reason why our
fingers should be Of different lengths
today. In fact it is thought by some
people that the hand would be stronger
If the fingers were all of the same
length, says the Book Of Wonders.
Certainly, however, the hands would
not then be so beautiful and might not
be so useful.
The human hand today is perhaps the
most versatile thing in the world. You
can do more things with the hand than
with any other thing in the world. The
probability is that the shape of the
hand today and the length of the
fingers are the result Of the different
things the human being has called upon
the hand to do during mans develop
ment up to the present time.
We must 60 back to the time, how
ever, when man walked on fours, for
that Is probably the real explanation.
Originally mans fingers were of DIFF
ferent lengths because all four footed
animals had the same peculiarities. The
shape and length Of the toes and their
arrangement were the ideal arrange
ment for giving the proper balance and
support to the body and In moving
about and in climbing produced tho
best toe hold.
