A Conversation for Talking Point: Evolution and the Human Body
evolution of toes
breakfastlunchandtea Started conversation Feb 9, 2003
I have no idea if this is really true, but someone once told me that the human race is evolving so that the 2nd toe is becoming longer than the "big" toe. He said that if you look at ancient Egyptian statues you will see that they have very long big toes, but a lot of people now have 2nd toes as long as, or longer than, their big toes.
A physiotherapist once told me that "people with a long 2nd toe are good at running". Don't know if this is true either
