A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the end of the

forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys,

and lemurs. A few other vertebrates such as the koala (which has two
opposable thumbs on each "hand" and fingerprints extremely similar to
human fingerprints) are often described as having "hands" instead of
paws on their front limbs. The raccoon is usually described as having "
hands" though opposable thumbs are lacking.[1]

Some evolutionary anatomists use the term hand to refer to the

appendage of digits on the forelimb more generally—for example, in the
context of whether the three digits of the bird hand involved the same
homologous loss of two digits as in the dinosaur hand.[2]

The human hand usually has five digits: four fingers plus one thumb;[3][4]

and are the richest source of tactile feedback. They also have the greatest
positioning capability of the body; thus, 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 that
handedness—the preferred hand choice for single-handed activities such
as writing with a pencil, reflects individual brain functioning.
