I have absolutely no science behind this, just a random thought. But what if…and bare with me here, what if our nails get thicker and deformed because they are our last line of defense against predators? Sure we could break a bone swinging at a predator but maybe the nail can slice the enemy just enough to get it infected and leave us alone?
