Which part of the upper limb enables humans to perform delicate movements, such as operating a phone?

The thumb’s opposable position and range of motion let it work with the fingers to grip and manipulate small objects, such as a phone. The wrist and shoulder girdle help position the hand, while the humerus is the upper-arm bone; none is as directly responsible for delicate finger movements as the thumb.
