The photos of his hands and feet look like they were photoshopped to add an extra digit (kind of like
this ad), but they weren't.
Devender Harne was born with twelve fingers and thirteen toes. That seems like it would be pretty useful. It certainly helps him type faster. It may also earn him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. (via

Just because a child did not inheirit this particular trait from you does not mean that it is not your child.Don't jump the gun here! I have a condition called Alpha 1. My children are not Alphas as I and my parents are. They are known as Carriers.
This child could be a carrier of polydactilic traits. This means it is possible for it to skip an offspring, but show up later in their offspring.May I also suggest that if you are that concerned about this precious child being yours, that you take a paternity test? Do this post haste as your attitude could negatively affect the relationship of you and the child's mother, not to mention the damage you could do to the innocent child's psyche.

My grandmother's family are Davis and they have toe abnormalities. Luckily, I think it has died out but she had a "double" great toe. It was quite wide and looked like 2 toes fused together on her right foot. I have found other Davis' with this same abnormality. Is any of your family from Tennessee? Im wondering if this is a Native American genetic trait myself and am looking for more Davis.
This comment was made here in 2005, but does anybody have a reference to back it up? Curious people on Wikipedia want to know.
Thanks!
I would bet its heriditary.
My older brother does not have extra fingers or toes. My younger sister doesn't either.
Maybe it skips a generation?
