The vadoma tribe of western zimbabwe

in ostrich •  7 years ago 

Life is full of surprises,sometimes we cant help but be shocked at some of the wonders of mother nature..
So i discovered something new today(its not new in the world,but it is definitely new to me)and i can bet my last dollar that a whole lot of you have never heard of this..i am talking about the "two toed tribe" also known as the "vadoma tribe of western Zimbabwe" they are a minority tribe with a mind boggling physiological characteristic.They have just two toes on each feet,a large number of the tribe's population have a condition called entrodactyly(the two toed condition).it is a pre-dorminant condition resulting from a single mutation on chromosome number 7.

In the vadoma tribe this is completely normal(some cultures though😱).To preserve this trait,the vadoma people live in isolation and they do not marry other tribes,it is strictly an intra tribal affair.

This is just..😥..
Be thankful for your feet
Be thankful for your toes too😊-1_0.jpg
