thumb
thumb: an appendage often cited - by humans - as the crucial difference between higher apes and all other animals. However, were one to ask, say, a camel, it is likely that it would cite the hump as the crucial difference between its own kind and all other animals. A chameleon might offer colour-changing ability and a platypus could probably come up with half a dozen unique platypusian attributes. So the thumb may be a differentiator, but it is not necessarily a proof of superiority, as is sometimes suggested. It simply means that Man is the best-equipped of God's creatures for hitch-hiking.
