This is not a silly question. Nails are modified claws; my dog keeps her claws short by me walking her on rocky substrate. Hominid nails, however, are not in contact with the ground, and thus would not routinely wear away. They did not have clippers or scissors - at least, they are not illustrated on the walls of Lascaux: what did they do?
