What is an important adaptation to human hands and what does it allow us to do?
Humans can move their thumb farther across their hand than any other primate. Having opposable thumbs helps in grasping things more easily, picking up small objects, and eating with one hand. An opposable thumb is a physical adaptation. An adaptation is a feature that helps a plant or animal survive in its habitat.
