The Remarkable Hand
With 27 bones each, our hands are an anatomical marvel. We can write and create things with them; thanks to their fine motor skills, hands are a perfect multifunctional tool.
Computers are displacing manual labour, mobile phones are replacing pens. Yet our hands and fingers can hardly be surpassed in terms of fine motor skills and sensory perception. And often only accidents or illnesses make us realise the value of this unique super-organ.
