Abstract

From the intricate movements that allow us to create art, express emotions, and communicate with others to the tactile sensations that connect us to the world, hands play a vital role in shaping our experiences and interactions. Hand is the bridge between the man’s imagination and the physical world, the conduit through which inspiration flows and ideas take shape. However, our hands' remarkable skill and precision didn't simply come into existence; it required significant changes in other body parts and biomechanics to accommodate and support them.
