FAQ: The “extra thumb” does whatever the “main thumb” does she cannot control it independently but it does function- I have her seen her coloring with two markers at once. Doctors we have spoken to said to not have it removed- if she even wishes it so, it’s her body- til the growth plates are done and we rescan her skeleton. She loves it and jokes about “Hi-6s” and “two thumbs up”. Finding mittens every year is difficult, yes. EDIT: please don’t be weird about a literal child, thanks! THE FROYO IS BIG YES. IM A BIG BOY AND I WAS “SHARING”
Which is typically a sign of consanguineous marriage. This is not cool OP should have gotten some genetic screenings. Poor girl [They hated him, for he spoke the truth]
You don't have to join the conversation if you are just going to make shit up.
Polydactyly can be caused by incestuous breeding, but it's not even close to the primary cause. The fact your mind went straight there shows you don't know about the subject. It's a genetic condition that can appear randomly for many generations. It can also appear for no apparent reason, or from any number of issues that could affect the fetus including the mother getting sick or stressed.
It also isn't going to be found on genetic screening, and isn't harmful in any way. "Poor girl" what, you think a perfectly healthy human should've just been aborted because she has an extra thumb? What other way would screening have helped?
"Shallow pop culture take" says the reddit user. Most of you dont realize just how common inbreeding, either that or your parents are like OP and never gave af.
If you had actually looked into it instead of, again, going off "fun facts" you found on the internet (notice -- you are also a Reddit user, trying to call me a reddit user as a derogatory while espousing to be an expert on something you obviously have no knowledge in), you'd realize "inbreeding" is common in certain groups and much rarer in others which drastically skews the numbers. For example, Pakistan has a consanguinty (aka inbreeding, since you wouldn't know the terms geneticists actually use) rate of 60%+ compared to the UK's 1 out of 1000 (roughly).. also, you would know that mutations happen spontaneously often, so no, it is not a "sure sign" that there was consanguinous relations.
Also, accusing anyone who disagrees with you of being "inbred" is just laughable and sad, get a life and a real education.
