To improve our grip, like tire treads. The wrinkles make tiny ducts, allowing the water to flow away more efficiently when you try to grab something, giving you more contact

A lot of people still think it’s a physics reaction, osmosis with the water, that your body doesn’t make the wrinkles, they happen to it. But it doesn’t happen if your nerves are damaged – your body has to make it happen, on purpose
