I was (using somewhat archaic grammar) saying that hands are just feet that happen to be very good at manipulating things. If you look at (for example) arboreal apes the only real distinction between ‘hand’ and ‘foot’ is which end of the body they’re stuck to. Similarly if you look at rodents their fore feet are exceptionally handlike in quality. Basically I’m saying that a manipulative foot is a hand you happen to walk on, so this answer is perfect. | |
