Answer 1

I think it’s because they are always uncovered and exposed to various temperatures, the skin/brain etc get a tolerance to a wider range. The rest of the body is covered much more often. Hands especially are touching numerous things every day with a huge variation in temperature, from cold stuff in a freezer to hot toast out of the toaster.
