Human and ape hands. Historical artwork of the hand of a human (left) and a barbary ape (Macaca sylvanus,right). The skin has been removed to reveal the underlying muscles and tendons. The human hand has a thick muscle that lies over the tendon to the thumb. This allows the thumb to be opposable to the other fingers. In the ape hand,the tendon to the thumb follows a similar path to those leading to the fingers,meaning it can only be moved in the same way as those digits | |
