Oldest Known Human Ancestors May Have Had Precision Grip Capabilities

Researchers present a kinematic model of thumb–index precision grip and manipulative movement based on bony hand morphology in a broad sample of extant primates and fossil hominins, revealing that even the oldest available fossil hominins may have shared comparable precision grip manipulation with modern humans. Scientists are coming to grips with the superior grasping ability […]
