Is better for humans to have 5 than 4 fingers?

Asked by interalex (130points) January 6th, 2012

How would be our development, our civilization, technology etc if we had 4 fingers?
I wonder if it would be better in terms of comprehension of “one”, “oneness”, “whole” and “infinity”, as all the numbers resulting by repetition of 1 (one) and/or doubling the result gives us the same result e.g. 1X2 = 4X2 =8, 8X2 =16, 16X2 =32 and so on indefinitely
