AI overview
A hand is a flexible, multi-fingered appendage at the end of the forearm found in primates like humans and chimpanzees, and in some other animals like koalas and raccoons. Hands matter because their design—particularly features like opposable thumbs in many species—enables these animals to grasp, manipulate objects, and perform complex tasks.
