The human '''hand''' is one of God's most amazing creations. No other creature has a limb quite like it, apart from a number of other [[primate]]s and also [[kangaroo]]s and [[squirrel]]s and [[chameleon]]s and a number of other animals.

The human '''hand''' is one of God's most amazing creations. No other creature has a limb quite like it, apart from a number of other [[primate]]s and also [[kangaroo]]s and [[squirrel]]s and [[chameleon]]s and almost every creature on Earth, including birds and many fish, who all share remarkably similar bone structures with human hands.
    
The opposable [[thumb]] makes it possible to grasp branches and manipulate tools. Although the human hand is not nearly as strong as a that of a [[chimpanzee]], when a person turns his or her hand to a task he or she can build enormous skyscrapers or tiny electronic circuits.
