Why are rat thumbs atrophied !??

Rat have four fingers and a little lump at the place of the thumb. WHY??? They are skilled animals and use there fingers very well. If they did have opposed fingers, I bet they would be building houses. Been a while searching, found nothing w/ google.

Yeah, what xaq said. And, then they will be ready to take over the earth after humans self-destruct.

There is no "reason" that's just how it is. They are still evolving, the future could see opposable-thumbed rats.
