If you go back in time, say 100,000 years, early humans behaved like hunters and gatherers. They engaged in strenuous physical activities for survival. Their daily activities included digging tubers from the ground, sharpening rudimentary spears, constructing makeshift shelters, and lighting fires. This manual labor would have naturally worn down and chipped away the fingernails.\n
