    So is communication the main purpose of your proposed subdivided thumbs, or just the spark for the idea?

      I propose this multiple thumbs in here because :
      1-it’s vision was memorable
      2-it’s potential usefulness was striking and obvious (hands gestures displayed were some kind of coded communication I could not understand - - very fast and complex)
      3-it’s awkwardness and unconventional character made it fitting as an unpopular item
      4-then I thought of why nature’s invention of the thumb was useful yet perfectible.

      My purpose here was to entertain readers as well as seeking help to develop the idea further (these purposes in equal importance for me).
