Animal, vegetable, mineral, or soybean derivative (e.g. tofu)? Answer below the fold.

I am glad I have fingernails and not finger-hooves. Trimming those things every couple weeks or so would be a hassle. I wonder how humans before the invention of clippers or any trimming device dealt with continually growing nails. Would the nails simply break off when they got too long? Or did the ancestral human lifestyle entail what amounted to a continual scraping of finger tips across a blackboard?
