Nothing. Other than that humans have ten digits (fingers and thumbs) on their two hands and these, presumably, were used for counting. If we had had 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand we would probably have evolved a system of counting based on 8. There are many alternative systems still in use today. We count in 2s (almost all computers), 3s (feet in yard), 7s (days in a week), 12s (dozen and gross or inches in a foot), 20s (old "scores, echoes of which are still seen in French numbers from 80 on), 24s (hours in a day), 60s (seconds, minutes), 360s (degrees). In fact, ten is not a particularly useful number since it does not have integer thirds or quarters.
