Cakeba :
Hands are hands because they don't support body weight and do grab things. feet are feet because they have short digits, arches, high rigidity, and do support body weight. So, when classifying them, it's not so much an exercise of "what type of what" like how a square is a type of rectangle; both hands and feet are discrete types of distal extremities. Kind of like how both rectangles and squares are types of quadrangles.

They serve entirely different functions, I would say they’re not related even if they look somewhat similar in structure

perhaps hands were our feet and we realized we did not need four so they evolved into grippers

Neither, they’re their own parts with completely different features and functions. Sensory receptors, vascular functions, skin and bone thickness. But brains and butts, same..

I feeeeeeeel like hands are a type of feet because the earliest mammals were quadrupeds, but that answer is mostly vibes and only a little science 😂

Hands are a type of feet. Humans are tetrapods….. wanna know something really twisted? Bat wings are hands, not arms.

I’m very jealous of monkey feet, they have opposable big toes. Basically another set of hands
