Correct answer: Your nervous system causes it

Your fingers don't wrinkle because they soak up water. When you bathe, your nervous system makes the tiny blood vessels under the skin constrict, which pulls the skin into wrinkles. Scientists think it may help you grip wet objects better — and nerve-damaged fingers don't wrinkle at all.
