Not correct, the frequency of multiples of 12 in human counting is thought to be because of the lunar cycle and that each human hand has 12 phalanges -- aka finger bones -- in the fingers excluding the thumb. See how the Chinese count to ten on one hand, using a combination of thumb and fingers, bent for some numbers, for six to ten. There are very few languages with a duodecimal system.
