I seem to remember from one episode on History channel of the aliens or something that somewhere the 12 base counting was used and made sense because you count with your thumb the inner parts of your fingers whete each has 3 parts.
There are many different bases around the world, to think all of humanity uses base 10 because we have 10 fingers is wrong. You can count with the spaces between the fingers (base 8) for example
