If your only counting the phalanges (those are the bones that make up your fingers) and not the metacarpals (the bones that make up your hand that connect to your fingers, then the thumb is the shortest digit on the human hand. On the human foot, it is the little toe (which is the one on the outside part of your foot; the big toe would be the one on the inside, towards your groin area, the little toe is opposite). If you were to count the metacarpals, then the pinky, or little finger, would be the shortest digit on the human hand. It would still be the little toe if you were counting metatarsals (the bones that make up your foot).
