Bad Thumbs

Recent reconstructions of the Homo-Neanderthalensis hand shows that while they had an excellent grip for using a hammer, they would have been unable to use a pencil.

Playing around with my own Homo-Sapiens hands, I can see how this would impede development and use of several stone-age tools we most certainly did develop and use.

This will affect my nascent novel.
