On evaluation of history, the human being is having at present only five fingers. In future generation , the same may be increased or decreased due to usage of the fingers.
Any how with five fingers we cannot function properly what do you to with more fingers ?

Depends who you ask...
1. Our evolutionary ancestors had 5 fingers on each hand, and we have kept that trait because it was passed down to us. If they had six fingers, we would also have six (and would probably count in base 12). Just so happens they had five.
2. God has five fingers on each hand and he created us from dust in his own image, that's why we have five fingers.

1. Kids will take longer to learn how to write 'cos learning to hold the pencil right will take at least 1 year.
2. You might accidently eat your own fingers instead of the hotdog you're holding so preciously.
3. You'll look like a bird.

I had six fingers per hand at birth and they cut two off...unfortuntly, they cut two off the same hand, so now its 6/4...damn small town doctors.
Oh, and any more fingers and glove/mit makers would loose loads of money.

Five is sufficient, same as two feet are, we have what we need. Using the animal world as an example, every so often a genetic mutant is born such as a two headed turtle or snake but they don't perform as efficiently as the norm, therefore they don't survive as well.

Not to dissapoint you but our little finger and toe are slowly going away with time cause we don't use it enough. Some aliens only have 4 and even 3! Enjoy mutation and evolution man...

and if we had more than 5 fingers per hand , would you be curious why not less?

if u think 5 r not enough then u can ask for more...one reson of having 5 fingers is that u need to learn counting upto 10 ;)
