Canadian scientists suggest that many prehistoric handprints showing a missing finger were likely intentional, not accidental. In 1976, a researcher at Princeton University proposed that some human tribes removed finger segments to create a caste system. This theory aligns with the idea that early humans may have carved each other up for dinnertime, as suggested by Discover Magazine. The Guardian also reported on the likelihood that the missing fingers were not accidental.
