    In genetics, that's referred to as 'hitchhikers's thumb" or distal hyperextensibility of the thumb.

    I don't know but I was thinking earlier what animal may have been the dominant species if it weren't for us, or apes I guess, because wasn't it the thumb that made us able to do things other animals can't? Dexterity or something. Or maybe ostriches would have taken over eventually or something. I wonder...

    Opposable thumbs you mean. But there's a lot more went into our becoming what we are besides that.

    Was about to say. Although I've never heard of the hitch hiker bit. My sis and I have double jointed thumbs. Mine bend more but it does seem to to be bendier.


    Here's a random google image of it

    Is that not supposed to be a myth?

    I didn't say it's genetic but that in genetics it's referred to as such. The jury is out on whether it's actually a genetic trait or not but the body of evidence now points to a regressive gene link.
