The family Da Silva in Brazil has a genetic oddity: all members have 6 fingers on each hand. A feature called polydactyly, and the family considers as an asset rather than as an anomaly. If Brazil win this year's World Cup, You can show all the titles on a single hand.

   The fingers are independent of each other? Ogni dito dispone di un “circuito” nervoso e tendini dedicati? I saw that the boy plays guitar with five fingers, not 6. Il sesto non lo usa perché “offeso” o per una questione di stile (or habit)?I would understand if it is an ancient genetic branch or is a recent genetic alteration.
