The homunculus is a human construct. It is usually found in textbooks.
The primary motor area is found on the precentral gyrus.
motor cortex of the brain
Hands are large on the motor homunculus model because they represent the large area of the motor cortex dedicated to controlling hand movements. The motor cortex has a somatotopic organization, with different body parts represented based on their level of dexterity and complexity of movements. Hands and fingers have a high concentration of motor neurons and require precise control, hence the larger representation in the motor homunculus model.
The largest areas of the homunculus used for sensory perception and motor control are generally the hands, lips, and face. These areas have a high density of sensory receptors and motor neurons, allowing for fine motor control and precise sensory discrimination.
The largest parts of the motor homunculus are the areas dedicated to controlling hand and face movements. These regions, located on the precentral gyrus of the brain, have a larger representation because of the intricate and fine motor control required for these body parts.
No person in history has been reported as being a "Homunculus"
A homunculus is the nerve map of the human body which exists on the parietal lobe of the brain.
No. A homunculus is a tiny fully formed human, once believed to be the result of fertilization.
No, the largest parts of the motor homunculus are actually the hands, face, and tongue. These areas have more nerve representation compared to other body parts in the motor cortex.

Bruttunculus (e.g. homunculi/homunculus)
Homunculus refers to the mythological concept of an artificially created human, presumably brought into existence by way of alchemy. In the most relevant sense of the word, "Homunculus" refers to seven individuals who make up the main antagonist group of the Fullmetal Alchemist series. These created humans, named for the seven deadly sins (Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony and Wrath), are supernatural beings with incredible longevity, astonishing regenerative properties and a host of varied inhuman abilities. The Homunculi usually carry the mark of the Ouroboros upon their bodies and are identified as such by said mark. In the 2003 anime, Homunculi are said to be created each time an alchemist attempts a Human Transmutation. While the transmutation itself is a failure in that the person intended to be revived does not return as expected, a new existence is brought about. The result of failed Human Transmutation is a grotesque, vaguely humanoid monstrosity that retains some of the memory, as well as the genetic material, of the resurrected. The "failed" Homunculus generally remains this way until it comes into contact with a Philosopher's Stone. Only then will they reform into an exact replica of the entity that was attempted to be ressurrected.
Actually it is just one: the neocortex or the gray matter on the outside surface of the brain. When making a map of the brain and what part of the brain controlled which muscles or sense organs, the result was what is called a homunculus. The thumb and hand uses a larger area of the brain. In ancient philosophy and alchemy, a homunculus, was considered to be a tiny version of a person, often thought to live in sperm cells.
