They chose to illustrate the article with a picture of a woman lying on grass, with one hand hidden and the other with 6 fingers? That's either a very self-aware or completely unaware choice.
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoWait am i counting wrong?
- woolion 2y agoNo, you do count 5 fingers, with 5 knuckle joints. Assuming she has a thumb, that makes 6 fingers though. I am really quite shocked that people don't seem to recognize a hand. The thumb's metacarpal comes out basically from the base of the wrist, and its distal phalanx would end about where the proximal phalanx of the other fingers start. So the only way this hand would be somewhat anatomically correct would be that the thumb is hidden by the perspective.
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoOh man you’re right I totally missed that. If that were a thumb, it would have to be some disgusting dinosaur claw thing because it’s way too far down the arm. That’s subtle, I bet they actually missed it.
