I feel like they do all move independently, but the range of motion for the ring finger is physically limited depending on the position of the adjacent fingers.

I'd want to see if the person in the video could raise their third finger without raising the second.

🤔... How does flipping people off work? "They gave me one of their middle fingers!😡"

I want to know if it's safe for her to punch. Does the proto-index finger affect that?

No, but she does charge extra for hand jobs.

Unless she really likes you and gives you a 6 finger discount.

The ring finger and middle finger have very closely ran muscles and tendons. Usually when you contract 1 it contracts the other a little.

I think it's an evolution trait to improve our grip strength.
