These Photos are Proof of How Powerful and Unpredictable Genetics Can Be

Bifid Thumb Twins Meet

Hands rarely fall victim to many genetic disorders, but one of the most common ones that affect them is thumb duplication or bifid thumb. This means that a person is born with two thumbs in the same hand and is a result of any agent causing a temporary growth disturbance to cell proliferation during conception.

This congenital condition occurs in one out of every 1,000 people, so there’s an even lesser chance of two people with the condition meeting. That is why it was bound to be special when a man received an Uber delivery from someone with the exact same disorder. The rarity must have been thrilling for them!
