re: #447 mich-again

And I’m still amazed that 47 million years ago, evolution had already figured out that 10 fingers and 10 toes was the best combination. Ida. I guess all the mutated creatures all that time who were born with either more or fewer fingers and toes couldn’t take over the ten-toed ones. A better question is why 10?

That IS an interesting observation. I guess there must be some non-obvious thing that’s special about ten.

Makes the whole decimal system thing we humans have gotten into seem just a tad less arbitrary…
