So why didn’t we stupid humans have evolved the 6th finger yet??? We had thousands of years! We could have everything in base 12 but no, we are a lazy species…
Interesting to note, when babies are born, we tend to remove any 6th finger or toe.
Back in the day, sure - nowadays they're removed only if they have no mobility or otherwise cause discomfort to the wielder.
