I'm quite curious about hands. According to wikipedia fingers contain some of the densest areas of nerve endings in the body, and are the richest source of tactile feedback. They have the greatest positioning capability of the body,the sense of touch is intimately associated with hands. Like other paired organs (eyes, feet, legs) each hand is dominantly controlled by the opposing brain hemisphere, so the preferred hand choice for single-handed activities such as writing with a pencil, reflects individual brain functioning. Among humans, the hands play an important function in body language and sign language ,the ten digits of two hands and have given rise to number systems and calculation techniques, letters and words.
