Lengths of hands vary widely among human adults, but the average from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger is typically 16 to 21 cm (6.3 to 8.3 inches). The average for men is higher, 189 mm (7.44 in) to 172 mm (6.77 in) for women.

* The "hand" used to measure the height of horses is a "hand breadth" which is standardized at 4 inches.

The average human hand on an adult male is 7.4 inches while the average adult female hand is 7 inches. The average hand width on an adult male and female is around 3.1 - 3.3 inches.

What is the largest diameter the average human can hold?

With one hand, the average male human cannot hold and grasp a basketball from the top without it falling. The standard basketball is a little over 9 inches in diameter. Given that women will have smaller hands on average, the diameter that the average human can hold and prevent from falling, and this is complete conjecture, should be between 5-7 inches. But first, the average human hand size would have to be determined. With two hands, the largest diameter object the average human could hold would be significantly larger, dependent on the wingspan of the average human, the surface texture and the weight of the object, and the average height and strength of the average human .

What is the average weight of a human skull?

The weight of the femur varies by size. Also, is it fresh, or dry? Dried, bleached bones will weigh less than ones recently removed from a cadaver. I would estimate a fresh adult thigh bone to weigh about five pounds.
