Question

why do our fingers curl when our hands are at rest?

Answer 1

Muscles contract or relax. Contracting takes more work than relaxing. I think the muscles that cause your hand to grip are weaker than the muscles that cause your hand to spread. So relaxing all the muscles in your hand causes a grip-like action. Iana doctor tho. Pretty much all speculation.
