You are the composite of your ancestors. Your big hands come from a combination of the genetics from your parents and parents' parents. If your hands are unusually large and you don't see or know of other family members with those traits and if your big hands really worry you. then consult your doctor.

The size of your hands are determined by genetics. So be sure to look around and see if your mother or father have big hands. It may as well be hereditary. Another thing, if you are very long in length, which means you are tall, then you are likely to have larger hands and feet than most people.
