Why do we have fingernails and toenails???????/?

An evolutionist would say it's a leftover from when we had claws oh so many millions of years ago. I say it's because that's how God made us. Besides, what would you paint if you didn't have nails?Why do we have fingernails and toenails???????/?
i dont know its just the way we were created, ask god that question!!!!!Why do we have fingernails and toenails???????/?
Evolutionary leftovers- used to be more claw-like, for climbing trees, fighting, etc. Nowadays, it is a mystery why we still have them- they've evolved down to nails, but why have anything? Why do we need soft skin underneath them?
To stop your hands and feet fraying at the edges !!
To stop the endy bits of our bodies from fraying and unravelling. Its kinda neat really.
So that we have something to bite.
SO WOMEN CAN PAINT THEM
it helps us peel fruit scatch an itch ans squeeze spots. and thats just the toes.
to scratch
How else would we pick %26amp; scratch ourselves?
because thats the way god made us!!
Nearly all animals have some sort of nail, hoof or claw at the end of their digits. They are usefull tools that we still find usefull so they are still with us.





They are made from modified hair and like hair continue to grow for a short time after you die.
so dat we can scracth out itchy body and mass someone's face with them
I wondered this until my big toe on my right fot came off - it hurts to walk without them. Also, you can't pick your nose properly without fingernails...
That is a great question, I would like to find out??
Good question
so that our fingers and toes don't wear out
I believe its to grip things more easily. Whenever my nails are REALLY short (before-the-finger-ends short) i find it really difficult to grip things.
';Leftovers'; from when our very distant mammal ancestors had claws. Creationists take note, you also have an appendix, ( another leftover or 'vestigial' organ) which is useless to you now, but take it out of a rabbit for example and it could not digest its food.
man evolves and with so many beauty therapy students at college these days, nails had to happen
