A screenshot essay titled 'What if Humans Had Six Fingers?' explores the implications of humans evolving with six digits on each limb. The text discusses how mathematics would shift to base-12, improving fraction representation, and how this anatomical change would affect tool use, sports, and cultural practices. With six fingers, activities like playing piano would become more complex with 12-note chords, and sports would see enhanced balance and agility, leading to potential Olympic-level parkour events. The essay concludes that in a six-fingered world, the number twelve would hold significant cultural importance and suggests that such humans may have been more adept at space colonization, particularly Mars. It references the character from 'The Princess Bride' as a precursor, suggesting increased dexterity as an evolutionary advantage.

I downgraded instead of canceling, which triggered a 14-day no-fee cancel window.
