They found that humans can safely strike, using 55 percent more force, with a closed fist than with a open one, and with more force with an open fist than by slapping. Carrier and his team believe that, at the same time the hand evolved to perform manual chores, it also evolved to be used as “a club during fighting.”

The first guy with an opposable thumb must have kicked ### and got all the ladies.
