stratified squamous
The epithelium best adapted for a body surface subject to abrasion is stratified squamous. Cells are to tissues as tissues are to organs.
stratified squamous epithelial tissue
Anywhere on the body that is subject to a lot of friction like the palm of the hand is going to be made up of stratified squamous epithelium which has multiple layers that can wear off. palmar aponeurosis a thickening of the deep fascia covering the palm of the hand. palmar aponeurosis is composed of very dense connective tissue that extends out into each of the fingers.

Charles Darwin invented evolution, he say on the Galapagos islands that there was the same bird on every island but with different beaks, so he thought that they just adapted to their surroundings. so there's his ideas...evolution is a highly debatable subject, currently there is more evidence against evolution however the scientists that believe in it keep the subject going with small tidbits of info.
Herbology is a real enough subject about plants and nature.
A suggested explanation that might be true and is subject to testing by further observations is
stratified squamous epithelium
Areas of the body subject to abrasion. It is the thickest layer of the skin, and composes most of the lining of the mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
Stratified squamous epithelium is the kind of epithelial tissue found in areas subject to friction and abuse. For example, this type is found in the esophagus.

Epithelium is found covering external or internal surfaces in the body. Stratified epithelium consists of more than one layer of cells. It is often found in situations subject to abrasion, where the top layers of cells are worn off. Layers underneath replace the lost cells, so the basic function of stratified epithelium is protection. See: http://ect.downstate.edu/courseware/histomanual/epithelia.html

Stratified squamous epithelial tissue is best suited for areas subjected to friction.
