Daemon Morphology - An Extensive Review

>You pick up a hefty scientific journal titled "Daemon Morphology - An Extensive Review". >You aimlessly thumb through the pages, pausing at "Daemon Chirology and Cultural Implications"   >You skim the abstract   > "Humans have relied on the decimal system since times before written record. The corresponding and relatively arbitrary importance of the number "10", therefore, likely relates to the number of digits on the human hand.
