I mean why 5, why 5 on each limb, why not 4 or 6. Why do our feet also have 5. Whats with our body being so symmetrical.

People who know anything about evolution, now is your time to shine.

      Having any fingers at all is a genetic mutation, thats how evolution works, it mutates, and if the mutation works well enough, it gets passed on.

      The only difference between you and a genetic mutation is that your ancestors were better at breeding.

          It’s a burn and also true. If a genetic mutation becomes prevalent enough, it’s no longer really considered to be a “mutation”.

      It’s actually the dominant gene. Having 5 is recessive.

      Not a mutation, was a pre-order perk.
