I recently heard that the nerves controlling the pinkie and ring finger are intertwined to the degree that it’s almost impossible for most people to move the pinkie and ring fingers without the other. Does it count as “independent” if one twitches while the other does the real moving? I think I may finally be special!
I have no issues moving any single finger independently. I just tested it. Maybe because I’ve played guitar, maybe because I’m a rock climber, or maybe I’m just a freak of nature. Or… maybe this is one of those Facebook claims that only 2% of people can do it, when really it’s just a normal thing that everyone can do.
It was a science podcast that links sources. I’ll go back and see where they got it from.
Then I guess I’m special. Neato!
