    Kunpengopterus antipollicatus was the first animal we know of to have opposable thumbs.


    https://www.sci.news/paleontology/kunpengopterus-antipollicatus-09548.html

    Advantage: locomoting & perching & foraging (later nesting) on diagonal fine branches, tensionally, unlike others on large horizontal branches, compressionally. Same in birds and hominoids. All lost long/strong tails as a result

    Humans are pterasuars

    Pterasaurs are humans. Thumbs make it possible to travel around the country, or used to.
