fingers, particularly toes

[billwald]

If homo previous walked on hands and toes then contact with the ground probably wore down his fingernails and toes. When Homo erect (?) got off the ground, his toenails were no longer pointed at the ground but forward, as ours are. We trim our toenails using tools. I supposes H. erect origionally could chew off his toenails as I do my fingernails but there came a time when he couldn't. Is it presumed that was when nail files were invented?

...What are you arguing against?

Or are you asking when nail files were invented?

Interesting question. I don't think it would be a live issue though until shoes were invented, which would protect the toenails from everyday wear and tear. And people who could invent shoes could probably invent nail files too.
