My son sprung this question on me on the way home from school and I couldnt think of the answer. Its something I would have thought I did know!!Why do we have finger/toe nails??
According to the online encyclopedia, the human and primate nail corresponds to the claw, hoof, or talon of other animals. Human nails protect the tips of the toes and fingers, while fingernails help us pick up small objects and scratch ourselves.Why do we have finger/toe nails??
bless .. maybe its because if the ends of our fingers were soft we would have trouble pick things up ect.
