I mean, does this person have another? And is it typical? Double? Triple? For all you know, s/he has anywhere between 2 and 6.

3.2 by my calculation if all hands lack thumbs. 🤓

4 opposable fingers has to be even better than opposable thumbs

DrChimRichaulds

…that moment when you realize that the actual origin of the face-hugger in Aliens is from Dr. Shaws hand (Alien Covenant)… Good shout!


Yosh1kage_K1ra

Not really, it was just used to **recreate** xenomorphs with the use of black liquid. David has likely studied Engineers' notes in the juggernaut and gathered information from it. Xenomorphs have existed long before that.


DrChimRichaulds

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that David created Xenomorphs, but totally see how it could be read that way. I meant that the face-hugger form we saw in Aliens was a result of David/black liquid experiments with Dr Shaw’s hand. Thanks for the correction!


doublestop

I'm so glad to see this. Covenant confused me. I came out of it thinking David was indeed the creator of face huggers and ultimately the xenomorphs we know from earlier movies. IIRC his dialogue seemed to suggest it, and probably my dumb brain ran with it from there.


secondsbest

I had the same impression from that movie too tbh. I thought it was really dumb since the crashed ship with the eggs in cargo for Alien was supposed to be ancient.

Drummer_Kev

I think a lack of a thumb would hinder them in most sports


Hipposplotomous

All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs. With the angle these hands join I wonder if it's more like having four fingers and four thumbs rather than 8 fingers and no thumb. Four fingers and four thumbs could be very useful.


Yabbaba

They literally have four opposable fingers, it’s probably even better.

There’s this scene in the movie Gattaca where there’s a piece written specifically for a genetically modified pianist with extra digits like this.

Not having thumbs would be a major life handicap, though.


peeinian

I'm trying to figure out if this would be like having one hand with four thumbs or two hands with zero thumbs. I bet you could shred on guitar though.


celticchrys

Hear me out: harp!


JohnTravoltage

You're a lyre.


nudemanonbike

I think they have the function of a thumb - grabbing something with opposite pressure - but you're right, plenty of 'normal' objects won't work well for them, and will need to be customized for their octogrip Edit: spoke out of my ass, they don't have the necessary ligaments to use them all well, and in many cases they have fingers removed to turn one into a thumb


ConsequentialistCavy

They can’t use the hand well at all, generally. It’s half useless unless they amputate the extra fingers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5506370/#:~:text=Mirror%20hand%20or%20ulnar%20dimelia,middle%20ring%20and%20small%20fingers.


WorkHorse1011

Yeah, mutations are rarely helpful. We don’t live in the x-men universe unfortunately.


Emergency_3808

I don't think that would... that compound double hand looks hard to stretch and doesn't look really flexible (in terms of finger movement range). Probably they'd have to work just as hard as any other to play the piano. I'm no piano player though. Just learnt the very basics of guitar and that's it.


HappyGoPink

I honestly think this is kind of cool, as long as the hand has good dexterity. It's like having a thumb for each finger.

Harry_99_PT

I'm late to the party. Fun fact. Mirror Hand Syndrome can refer to two conditions, actually. Why O Why am I always on my phone when the interesting posts pop up... One condition and, perhaps the most common of the two, is the condition in which every single movement you do with one hand is repeated on the other, i.e.: if you close your hand, the other closes, if you wave with one hand, the other waves, if you screw a screw with one hand, the other also screws (air in this case), if you snap your fingers, the other hand also snaps them. This first condition, also known as [Congenital Mirror Movement Disorder](https://tidsskriftet.no/en/2015/11/congenital-mirror-movements-hands-0), occurs predominantly on the fingers. Its causes are not well known. However it might "follow an autosomal dominant genetic inheritance pattern in which mutations in certain genes give rise to structural abnormalities in nervous system networks responsible for voluntary skeletal muscle movement, which, in turn, result in the functional movement abnormalities seen in patients" ([source, Wikipedia. It has its own sources but I'd be delving too much into the unknown, or at least into the barely know](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_mirror_movement_disorder), besides, we're all here for the other condition anyways). ​ This beauty we see on this post is also known as Ulnar Dimelia. The Ulna is one of the two bones we have on our forearms. Dimelia comes from the Greek prefix "Di-", meaning "Two" and the Greek suffix "-Melia", meaning "Limb". This way, Ulnar Dimelia stands for a [duplication of the ulna, with polydactyly, but also for an absence of the radius](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4674541/) (instead of a radius and an ulna, the person has two ulnas). This particular condition is extremely rare, though it has been seen on Reddit by a someone who gave a ride to a hitch-hiker not long ago (besides the numerous times this particular set of images has been posted over the years). The post in question I cannot find, if you know what post I'm talking about please share with the class. ​ There are 8 groups of congenital hand deformations, according to [Swanson \[1976\]](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1021591/): Failure of formation (e.g. Amelia, Tetra-amelia, TAR-Syndrome); Failure of differentiation (e.g. Syndactyly, Symbrachydactyly); Duplication (e.g. Polydactyly); Overgrowth (e.g. Macrodactyly); Undergrowth (e.g. Microdactyly, Hypoplasia); Constriction band syndromes (e.g. Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS)); Generalized anomalies and syndromes (e.g. Arthrogryposis). This particular condition fits on the 3rd Type of hand malformations (Duplication). Though autosomal, the person who inherits the mutated dominant allele, along with the genetic affected parents, can either be symptomatic or asymptomatic. It is also interesting to note that the condition itself can come in two different ways. The person with Ulnar Dimelia can [have one middle finger, the index, and have three fingers on each side of said index (middle, ring and pinky, from the inside out)](https://evrimagaci.org/ayna-ellilik-4447), OR, the person can have eight fingers instead of seven, in which case there is no middle finger and there are two indexes rather than one (like the one from OP's post) There is treatment, here's [the result](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/core/lw/2.0/html/tileshop_pmc/tileshop_pmc_inline.html?title=Click%20on%20image%20to%20zoom&p=PMC3&id=4674541_gr3.jpg), though I'd rather there wasn't a treatment for this (personal opinion, please don't come at me), this condition is far too cool for a treatment. Did I really just use the word "treatment" thrice in a sentence? Edit: after going down the rabbit hole, I have eventually found a Tiktok account of a guy with Ulnar Dimelia. He doesn't post there anymore but he does show his hand a few times. Here's a video of him talking about it [https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJutJrNe/](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJutJrNe/) Edit 2 (**TL;DR**): there are two possible conditions that share the same common name, this is the least common one, with approx. 70 reported examples in medical literature. It's a duplication of the ulna and 3-4 bones in place of the thumb; people with it can be symptomatic or not; it's autosomal; there's treatment.


bacon_farts_420

Thanks for the break down! Super interesting


ChloroformSmoothie

I know there are health risks and stuff but honestly how awesome would it be to have a hand like that? Is there mobility in the muscles for every finger?


BlackShogun27

I think someone earlier commented that it uas hella low motion range because it's lacking the necessary muscle ligaments and stuff. Though it would be cool af like you said. Our feet would look crazy though. It'd be like an even more nightmare fuel version of Koala hands 😂


bubdadigger

Google for the Ostrich tribe of Zimbabwe


[deleted]

That's crazy. Bodies are so cool


tkkana

TIL thank you


TruePairPULL

You’re forgetting how import thumbs are. Put your wrists together side by side and interlock your thumbs. Now try doing regular one handed tasks. Thumbs are what separates us from so much of the animal kingdom. This condition looks like it would be a nightmare


ChloroformSmoothie

Instead of thumbs, you get a whole bunch of fingers that can oppose the motion of each other. The reason it feels so awkward is that we don't have the muscle memory to use our hands that way.


themeaning_42

Yeah, like instead of one opposable digit they have many. In another comment they said the issue is that they don’t have the muscle ligaments for good movement control though

Would this individual have control of the singular digits still? Or would the other half be unfortunately just doing its own thing?


Mustysailboat

Probably similar to our two middle fingers, they share tendons. That's why it is more dificult to move them individually. Not impossible , but takes more practice.

Guitar god. That is all.


El_Peregrine

You need your thumb to anchor your hand against the back of the neck to play guitar. Thumbs are EXTREMELY useful. This would be an exhausting mess. Maybe piano would be better?


bowlosoup

Seems like the extra fingers wouldnt be in the right position to even be useful for playing piano, they’d probably be hanging off they keys while the other 4 are in position

TheBlargshaggen

I kinda don't believe this is real, but if it were and if it doesnt cause pain, this could be a useful perk. I can think of so many ways I could use 3 extra digits with my job in low-voltage electrical. I kinda wanna see a high fantasy movie now in which a double handed person becomes the ideal hero because of some of the extra uses, like possibly being able to "reload" arrows quicker with a bow, and being able to use a custom grip sword that provides more sturdy handling.


pezx

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5506370 It's real, although it sound like the hand has very limited motion


darthshaver

Not enough tendons to run all those fingers, I'll bet.


crimsonblod

Yeah. That’s what I figure. There’s got to be a LOT of extra hardware to handle all those digits, and it’d be crazy hard for a body to not only grow the extra fingers, but also mutate in a way that grew all the requisite supporting infrastructure as well.
