And remember kids, this marvelous piece of adaptable engineering crawled up from the mud, climbed down from the tree and just ... you know ... happened.
...and a forefinger for the nose. How convenient was that?
Oh crap. Now SanFranNan will be calling for a ban on hands...
God Shaped Human Hands
Chuck Norris’s hands didn’t evolve; they punched their way into existence. Primordial soup was actually primordial rock until it met Chuck Norris.
Let me guess, there is a government grant involved.
One thing I’ve noticed is how differently a strange menacing dog treats you when you have a stick in your hand. Wielding sticks is an overlooked human talent. Take some kids to the woods, and the first thing they do is find a really good stick. Look at photos of primitive people; they almost always have sticks in their hands. It’s what hands are for.
If hands were made for fighting then why do they break so easy? Anyone who’s spent any time in the ring will know what I’m talking about. Boxing gloves are there to protect YOUR hands, not the other guy’s face.
Yes, our hands evolved to fit the grips of handguns.
:^)
Tell me, again, why we're supposed to consider "scientists" more reliable than my 8-year-old. James is full of theories about dinosaurs that are just as provable as this man's "suggestion" that the hand "may have."
Uh huh. Because an opposable thumb wasn't useful for other things, like, say, gripping tools and manipulating items found in nature ... Characteristics that would give their owners a huge step up on the evolutionary ladder.
The fact is, the human fist, unless it's in the "hands" of someone like Mike Tyson, isn't a particularly formidable weapon. Just about any animal can do major damage to a man. The only thing that saves us is our brains, and in the case of a lot of Democrats, that would have consigned them to the category of "snack."
This strikes me as a couple of irrelevant revisionists looking for a vehicle to justify their salaries ...
Following this logic, the arm should be tipped with a hoof to make the club concept work.
The hand evolved from an arboreal ancestry. It then got freed up to handle tools and weapons. Nothing new in this.
