Question

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

In: Biology

Answer 1

because that is their rest, or medium, position.

You have a muscles on the front and back of your wrist that extend or curl up your fingers.

The inside of your wrist completely curls up your fingers, the back/outside of your wrist completely extends your fingers. That half curl at rest is the middle ground between those two muscles.
