This sounds interesting, but I'm skeptical. 12, 60, and 360 have nice mathematical properties independent of human morphology. Do you have references to cite this?

The articles I've read all seem to cite print books. The Wiki articles on finger counting, and duodecimal list some:

Thanks for the reference! Not convinced that this is the sole reason, but it is interesting nonetheless.
