According to a new study, chimp hands are more evolved than that of humans even as human hands can perform a series of complex tasks.

Experts explained that humans can perform various tasks like paint a picture, change a diaper, play the piano while chimpanzees can climb trees and pick tasty bugs from each other. They said that it is believed that humans and chimps started the evolution with similar traits. It is also believed that human hands evolved when they stated making told. The structure of modern hands is about 6 million years old and humans started making tools about 3.3 million years ago.

Experts also said that the hands have not changed much since then even as humans started performing ever more complex tasks. The team of researchers examined human, chimp, and orangutan mitts as well as fossils of early apes and human ancestors.Chimps' hands were found to be long and slender with a short thumb

Kurtis Hiatt, a spokesperson for George Washington University said, "Human hands are marked by a relatively long thumb when compared to the length of their four other fingers - a trait that is often cited as one of the reasons for the success of our species because it facilitates a pad-to-pad precision grip."
