Do monkeys have disposable thumbs

Answer 1

No. No animal or human has disposable body parts.

Perhaps the intended question was "Do monkeys have opposable thumbs?" The answer to that question would be -- yes.

Almost all primates have opposable thumbs used for grasping things, especially tree branches, and picking up things. Humans, apes, and most monkeys have this type of thumb. Humans have more flexibility for manipulating small objects and they can move their thumbs across their hands much better and farther than any other primate giving humans the most dexterity of all primates.

Answer 2

They cant use their thumbs because they dont really have the ablility that we have to pick up things so they use their whole hand except the thumbs. But HUMANS can pick things up n grip things. As for other primates they cant really grib anything with thier thumbs. Hope that helped ur question about animals:). n im in high school n i know all this lol its so amazing:) but hey gotta learn alot, its my last year so i got to pass n remember everything from the past years

Answer 3

Yes, monkeys do have thumbs actually. Their bodies are much like human bodies by the way. In fact some people think that the human kind used to be monkeys way back then and then we evolved in the human-being, depending on people's theories.

Answer 4

Monkeys have apposable thumbs because grandma didn't want to be selfish so she put a spell on them so we weren't the only ones with apposable thumbs and could do anything we wanted. Plus the monkeys gave grandma a mock orange sweater to wear when she goes jogging so she had to do something in return.
