Finger nails are used to help us pickup and open small objects. Its hard picking up change that fell on the floor without a little nail. Without nails we couldnt scratch if our skin gets itchy. Theres a test that people do with the finger nail too. Theyll press down on the fingernail to see if it turns a certain color and itll let peramedics know if a person passed out or went into shock. They also give the hand a more distinguished look dont you think?

They're what remain of our claws when we still had them... as we evolved we needed claws less and less, so they've shrunken back. We still have them because they're rather useful for picking up things, i suppose. Not much in the way of self defense, though...

They are there to keep your digits from getting injured. Just think of how many times a fingernail has saved your ***!
