A comparative analysis of hands constitutes the basis of an assessment of hand function in an evolutionary context. Terms as functional domain and functional options are instrumental to define the functional expansion, which can be seen when comparing reptiles, opossum and primates. In man the structural arrangement can be interpreted in functional terms only by terms as functional continuum or universe and by performance control. In the great apes knuckle walking and brachiation seems to interfere with a full-fledged pollical-digital interplay, the latter function being considered to constitute the structural base of optimalization collecting afferent information, requiring brain development, which opens up categories as abstraction, design and freedom.
对手的比较分析构成了在进化背景下评估手功能的基础。功能域和功能选项等术语有助于定义功能扩展，这在比较爬行动物、负鼠和灵长类动物时可以看到。在人类中，结构安排只能通过功能连续体或功能整体以及性能控制等术语从功能角度进行解释。在大猩猩中，指关节行走和臂行似乎会干扰成熟的拇指-手指相互作用，而后一种功能被认为构成了收集传入信息的优化结构基础，这需要大脑发育，从而开启了抽象、设计和自由等范畴。
