Humans typically have five fingers on each hand. This includes four fingers and one thumb, which is often considered a finger itself.
While technically correct to say we have four fingers and a thumb, in common language, "fingers" usually refers to all five digits on the hand, including the thumb. This is reflected in the way we write and talk about hands; for example, we don't say "The hand has four fingers and a thumb," but rather "The hand has five fingers."
Each finger has three individual bones, except for the thumb, which only has two. The fingers have three joints each, which can be bent and stretched. This flexibility allows for a wide range of movement and dexterity.
The five-fingered hand is a key element of human anatomy, allowing us to manipulate objects, use tools, and perform a wide range of tasks.
