Apparently (according to New Scientist) our hands have evolved so that we can punch each other.
Kind of makes sense actually, I mean, why else would we have Boxing, MMA and other combat sports right?

Apparently we are the only species with the ability to wrap our thumbs around the rest of our knuckles to form a fist. Obviously we have to use them to punch each other! So next time you feel a little angry, feel free to punch your boss, teacher, child or parent in the jaw, and feel comfortable in the fact that it's what our fists are made for, I'm sure you'll get a bly.
So, who feels like they can fight a Silverback Gorilla now, knowing that you have the advantage with your 'super evolved' fists over their big, clumsy, open handed, beast fingers?
Just so you know, this Gorilla will FUCK YOU UP even though it can't make a fist.
What do the man dem think? Fists made for punching or not? When you make a fist do you have the natural urge to punch something?
