The Huaorani Tribe Feet - Ecuador

Unread post by Dean Harrison »

There are less than 4,000 people in the Huaorani tribe and the small gene pool, along with the constant tree-climbing has led to them developing very flat feet, many of which have six toes. Some also have six fingers.

See attached photo. Interesting that they can have 6 toes due to their small Gene Pool, plus the shape of some of the toes. Sounds all too familiar.

Those feet would be perfect for climbing rocks and trees....potential for gripping incredibly well.

So there is such a thing as someone with six toes! (thumb up)

Intriguing. It's traditionally/anecdotally an indication of inbreeding.

My guess is it is a result of inbreeding in this case.

Or a regressive nephilim gene (scared)

I should read the linked article before I post. As Dean suggests the article clearly says the six toes are from inbreeding.
