Our clever hands with their opposable thumbs being considered a defining characteristic. And our tool use thus derived. Handspans also having been a common (if imprecise) early unit of measurement (along with forearm-spans, as in cubits, strides, and foot-length, from which the measurement in feet still derives its name). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
