Is it normal that i prefer to eat with my hands

Throughout my life, I have always preferred eating with my hands. Not only finger foods, but also things like rice, spaghetti, etc. The only time that I think using hands would not be appropriate would be when drinking soup or other liquid meals. As a child, my mother would always tell me that it is not polite, but it didn't hinder me, and I still do it. My whole family pokes fun me, saying that I eat like a caveman, but it's okay. I think that eating with your hands is perfectly healthy and much easier than using utensils. I mean, it's only primal... and you get to test the temperature, texture, etc with your hands before putting it in your mouth. I don't really understand why man has invented utensils in the first place(with the exception of spoons), as your hands are already the perfect eating tool.
