Why do fingernails grow faster than toenails?

Well, this is about the only answer I could come up with: "The longer your fingers the faster your nail grows. Your toes are shorter than your fingers so they grow slower. Fingernails grow approx 2X the rate of your toe nails."

Now, the problem with this is that it's not directly tied to the length of your fingers compared to toes. It has been proven that the fingernails grow roughly 2x the speed of the toenails; however, science hasn't figured out why. My only theory is that at one point we had to use our fingernails for gathering, defense, etc.I.e.

Living life and surviving. If you notice, toenails (or "claws") on animals have a tendency of growing more rapidly if they walk on concrete a lot. Their bodies seem to make them grow quicker to prevent "stubbing."

Since in my theory they played a purpose, our bodies would have had to produce them quicker as they would have been tools we needed biologically. This in turn may answer the question. :).

You use your fingers far more than your toes, so there is more blood flow. Thus, they grow faster, just like your muscles will!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
