No. Humans will never grow fins because we have no use for them. A characteristic will evolve because slight variations (the very beginning of that characteristic) improved the survival chances of an organism so that it survived and reproduced at the expense of others that did not have this variation. So it is possible that if some stone-age humans tried to live an aquatic lifestyle, then you may see things like webbing between the fingers. This is extremely unlikely and is a poor example of evolution, because humans would be far more likely to invent something to fill this need, even stone age humans. I cannot actually think of a single situation where humans having rudimentary fins would lead to some humans surviving and others dying.

Why are coelacanths considered an important evolution step toward the evolution of tetra pods?

Consider the lobe fin of these fish and you will see why the branching to tetrapods is extended from lobe fins. The precursor to ankle bones/wrist bones, phalanges/tarsals and the finger/toes is quite obvious and becomes more obvious as the transitional forms from lobe fins to amphibians is followed.


What is Fin Fold Theory?

It is the theory that paired fins arose in jawed fishes from the evolution of ventrolateral skin folds in jawless, basal fishes. The folds then separated and specialized to form the paired pectoral and pelvic fins in more evolved fishes.
