Most mammals have 4 or 5 digits on their hands and feet including our relatives the ape, their purpose is clear, just use your hands, see how it helps with holding and gripping things :)

To have nice grip on objects that we hold!
As to show middle finger to suckers around us we got 5 fingers!

Technically it’s only 4 on each hand 🤭. But who’s counting. 🤪

In case someone has not said it yet....We do not have 5 fingers, we only have 4 four and one thumb. So that's 8 fingers and two thumbs.

It's purely so parents can use the Five Fingers of Tickle on their kids :)

10 actually but giid question. Well, there is no such profound explaination to it
The thumb is so we can pick up things, do multiple tasks I think
