Having opposable thumbs helps in grasping things more easily, picking up small objects, and eating with one hand. An opposable thumb is a physical adaptation. An adaptation is a feature that helps a plant or animal survive in its habitat.

Since the thumb is not as long, it just meets up with the palm, while the chimp’s other four fingers extend upward. As a result, chimps and orangutans do not have opposable thumbs as we do. Like human hands, gorilla hands have five fingers, including an opposable thumb. Gorilla feet are similar to ours too.

The human opposable thumb is longer, compared to finger length, than any other primate thumb. This long thumb and its ability to easily touch the other fingers allow humans to firmly grasp and manipulate objects of many different shapes.

Duboule said that only humans and great apes had the advantage of having a thumb that could be opposed to the other fingers. This gives the hands an extraordinary mobility, and gives humans in particular an evolutionary advantage. Without thumbs, human beings would not have developed tools.

The middle finger, long finger, or tall finger is the third digit of the human hand, located between the index finger and the ring finger. It is typically the longest finger. In anatomy, it is also called the third finger, digitus medius, digitus tertius or digitus III.
