I mean I'm a pretty small dude with skinny (but not limp) wrists and my knuckles have always judded out, they look like brass knuckles. What do we know about how hands/knuckles evolved for fighting?

They may have been knuckle-draggers.

It means you cracked your knuckles excessively when you were younger, degenerate.

I have had these big ass jutting knuckles since I'm little though. I know this cuz when I was about 13 an older kid asked to see my knuckles and commented on how big they were. He was probably going to see if I was worth robbing.

Ah yes, the large 0.05mm difference. You fucking idiot.

Take up boxing, see if it comes naturally to you. It’ll be a great workout either way. Any evolutionary explanation the pseuds on /sci give you is unfalsifiable. Plausibility, in the case of evolutionary causality, is not a strong enough signal for truth. Don’t base what you think off of what people who can’t scratch 130 on an IQ test say on a Mongolian basket weaving forum

It is, but the difference is 0.05mm.

Well that's .05mm more knuckle than you would have had otherwise.

And absolutely irrelevant to OPs bulbous knuckles. You posted your wild dumb uninformed opinion as fact, got called out on it, desperately tried to find any paper you could, and came up with .05mm.

Sorry son, you failed.

Look, sorry, you don't have to wave around your .05mm dick anymore. You wanted an explanation, there it is. Plus, that doesn't mean that the controls never cracked their knuckles in their lives, so the total effect is likely understated.

Thats not the explanation at all you. Stop posting your unfounded opinions on a science board

>implying you can't crack your knuckles before 13
I was cracking since kindergarten, you think cracking is your ally? You merely adopted the crack. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the knuckle jut until I was already a man.
