Our hands are adapted for grabbing, holding and manipulating. These are three distinct functions. Most animals can grab, but they use claws, which we don't have. Some can hold things, but again they have to use their claws. We developed opposing thumbs to allow us to hold things. We developed long fingers to allow us to manipulate items that we are holding. Animals like big cats, bears, wolves, etc. do not have long fingers and have a real hard time manipulating.
