If you had eight hands, how would you use them?
- Having 8 hands means, on each side, there would be 4–4 hands, which means one needs to have — very big shoulders to support those hands ( if embryo-logically those hands ./arms are functioning otherwise, with monster baby these 8 hands are usually non-functional and mere showpieces )
( monster babies with extra limbs are very rarely viable)
Now, having a big shoulder means — there need, very strong — anti-gravity muscles /back muscles to support core of the body,,
With strong back muscles, one also need very strong gluteal muscles and consequently very strong leg muscles too,,
So bearing — 8 arms, means one needs very — strong physical abilities & makeup,
- this is the first thing otherwise, one will have to walk like — spider if one’s body physically not strong to uphold strong shoulders
Now next thing is — how one is expected to use — 8 arms,
— because the human brain is made to let use only — 2 arms,, at a time, by turning one arm dominant over other
So to use 8 arms — the human brain needs to restructure its constituents, which means, human brain need to -develop its motor skills, and this is possible by allocating — more brain portion for 8 hands only, which means — for other — brain function brain has to compromise their function.
That means — besides gaining — exclusive motor skill, the human brain is losing — its other skills
Besides this, if — the human brain has to develop the ability to use 8 arms with full potential, then the human brain needs to learn — “Skill of Multitasking “
But
“Multitasking is indirectly proportional to quality outcome in work,,,”
That means — the quality of Human performance-will be reduced for such a person who is using 8 arms to do anything
So finally speaking,,
- after understanding all pros and cons and possibilities of having 8 arms , one can say that he or she — will do some physically challenging job very easily as like rooting out big trees very easily
But , besides this with 8 arms nothing more will be possible at the mentally and psychological level as the “brain” is losing capability to outperform due to extra baggage of carrying 8 arms on the shoulder.
Perhaps this is the reason — Hindu Goddess, only depicted had dozens of hands when they want to kill the Demon, which needs great physical strength and excellent motor skill to outperform deterrent enemy in battle
( Anyhow this depiction of having dozens of hands in Hindu Goddesses basically — is basically indicating that Hindu Goddess is extremely skilful and having mastery in multitasking.
Those depictions of having dozens of hands of Hindu Goddess has nothing to do with — real physical extra arms attached to body,)
( See , Even in Artistic Depiction, Multi-Arm Bearer Hindu God is only using 2 arms at a time to kill the demon, )
So, to answer the question, one needs to say that — having mere 8 arms, one can't do anything great as such, besides being — Strong & Physically agile person
