Why do human fingers and toes have five toes?
When vertebrates land, there are many different quadrupeds, such as five toes, six toes and eight toes. But in the extinction at the end of Devonian, the 6-toe and 8-toe were extinct. Fortunately, 5-toe has survived and evolved to this day, so all quadrupeds are 5-toed since then, but some specialize in 65,438+0 toes (such as horses) and some specialize in fins (such as dolphins).
