(for a total of 7 fingers per hands)
Genetic engineering will create surprising things. We could explore it in advance with ai generated images or motion pictures.
You know… so many posts on here are either just actively contrary to popular opinion, or not actually that unpopular in reality.
It’s kind of refreshing to see an opinion that is passively unpopular, because few people have thought about it.
Upvote for taking “unpopular” in a different direction!
The other night I had this dream about someone making amazing hand gestures with very special hands. You should have seen that, it was otherworldly. Disquieting at first but not repulsive.
So is communication the main purpose of your proposed subdivided thumbs, or just the spark for the idea?
I propose this multiple thumbs in here because :
1-it’s vision was memorable
2-it’s potential usefulness was striking and obvious (hands gestures displayed were some kind of coded communication I could not understand - - very fast and complex)
3-it’s awkwardness and unconventional character made it fitting as an unpopular item
4-then I thought of why nature’s invention of the thumb was useful yet perfectible.My purpose here was to entertain readers as well as seeking help to develop the idea further (these purposes in equal importance for me).
You might be interested in third thumb.
Wow, there is already a prototype. I was seeing that for a farther future.
in this version, each of the two thumbs are at the 2 opposing sides of one hand whereas in my view three thumbs would be on one side opposing the other four fingers.
