 		Scientists seem to agree that wrinkly when wet hand skin has evolved to help us pick up wet marbles... surely we didn't even have dry marble until a century or so ago. I would have thought, that as it is mainly only your hands that wrinkle up and only when they're really wet for a certain amount of time (soaking in the bath springs to mind), that the rough surface would aid in cleaning, much the way modern science has provided up with scouring pads for washing dishes. The rough surface gets more dirt off and as we all know and again science figured it out about a hundred years ago, cleaner people tend to last longer. So those with wrinkly hands, got cleaner, lived longer, had more kids etc. SOLVED.

 		Whoever came up with the wet marble thing, they seem to have lost their marbles so I guess evolution failed in their case.

 		After a good soak, my feet aren't anywhere as wrinkled as my hands, not by a long shot.
