One can't help but wonder whether occurrences like this reflect merely a small probability event occurring in an immense population, or whether it suggests effects of environmental problems.

Population or Polution?
ReplyDeleteWhat about both?
Apparently, early fossils in evolution had 8 digits on each limb. My guess is this is a throw-back, much like human tails and extra nipples.
ReplyDeleteThe gene for having extra fingers is actually dominant, while the one for ten fingers is recessive. We only see everyone having ten fingers because thats the one present in our gene pool... at least in most places! There are some areas in the world where the dominant gene for extra fingers is present so most people in that population have a lot of fingers!
ReplyDeleteBottom line: dont have sex with people with too many fingers cause youll taint the population
Lots of fingers are awesome. I wish I had more!
ReplyDeleteNot when they are stuck together!
