For all the reasons that relate to what the skin does: it communicates, it exchanges, it senses, it protects. So, depending on the part of the body, we can predict how thick the skin might be ... at least in comparison with other parts. For example, there are more layers of skin on the soles and palms, since these come into contact with surfaces that might tear, or puncture, or erode them. But that is just taking into account the upper layer ... the epidermis. Skin has a second layer---the dermis---under the first. The dermis contains blood vessels, nerves, roots of hairs, and a lot of connective tissues with collagen and elastic fibers. These all have jobs to do, too, and so whenever that job is better done with a thin layer or a thick layer, that is what you will see on those parts of the body.

Think about it logically ths skin is thickest in the areas where is most likely to be worn away. The soles of the feet have the thicked strongest skin in the humans. Honestly....
