I mean, unironically… from an evolutionary pov, yeah kind of. I don’t know specifics about how hands evolved, but knuckles seem to be shaped a certain way for reasons. I imagine big, boney knuckles was a trait that got successfully passed down due to its usefulness.
I am not an evolutionary biologist, so I could be wrong. Evolution is weird and counterintuitive sometimes.
Kicking is our natural unarmed attack. Still a last resort compared to throwing rocks or whacking with sticks though. We evolved from ancestors who already used tools to defend themselves.
I have hands that can turn into fists. Does that mean I was created for hitting things?
This is your logic, woman!

Hands are fragile, they were created to hold tools. Like a stone. Stones are for hitting, not your poor fragile hands.
If you use a stone, you can still play the piano or paint your favorite landscape afterwards.
