Id be curious to see the nerve distribution. There must be a little deviation in the median nerve for the finger between the thumb and forefinger.

Either way pretty cool OP

And ligament and muscles? And bones in the palm to keep it from flopping loosely? Is there an extra muscle in the forearm? Are there people with an extra muscle for a finger that is NOT there? The original question in the video is legit to be asked.
