The answer has to be no, in part because a whole range of tetrapods have reduced their numbers of digits further still. Monkeys are excellent at using their hands and fingers to break. Not all primates have 5 fingers.
Of Course, There Are Two Thumbs.
They are part of the primate family which includes lemurs and lorises in addition to monkeys themselves. An animal is said to have an opposable thumb if the thumb can be bent in a way that it can touch all the other fingers and toes on the same hand or foot. Their fingers and toes are long, ending with fingernails and toenails.
This appears to be an adaptation for locomotion, the rationale for which is not fully understood at present. Humans are also in the haplorhines, although we are part of another subfamily called hominines. Those five digits were narrowed down from eight over millions of years — we could have just as easily ended up with more or fewer digits, but it just happened that.
