Comment on Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.

  Having any fingers at all is a genetic mutation, thats how evolution works, it mutates, and if the mutation works well enough, it gets passed on.

  The only difference between you and a genetic mutation is that your ancestors were better at breeding.

      It's a burn and also true. If a genetic mutation becomes prevalent enough, it's no longer really considered to be a "mutation".

        Yeah, “mutation” is like “terrorist”. No one calls you they of you win.

  It’s actually the dominant gene. Having 5 is recessive.

  Not a mutation, was a pre-order perk.
