Lengths of hands vary widely among human adults, but the average from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger is typically 16 to 21 cm (6.3 to 8.3 inches). The average for men is higher, 189 mm (7.44 in) to 172 mm (6.77 in) for women.

* The "hand" used to measure the height of horses is a "hand breadth" which is standardized at 4 inches.

But some guys might get adult hands as soon as they are 15 years old, whereas some others might still have smaller hands after 20 years old.
