Extraordinary Anomaly: Most Fingers and Toes on a Living Person

Polydactylism, a rare anomaly characterized by the presence of extra fingers or toes, may seem like something out of a science fiction tale. Yet, for individuals like Devendra Suthar of India, it’s a very real and remarkable aspect of their existence.

Suthar defies conventional anatomy with an astounding total of 14 fingers and 14 toes, making him the living person with the highest number of digits on the planet. Polydactyly can manifest sporadically without a discernible cause, although some cases may be linked to genetic abnormalities or underlying hereditary syndromes. Suthar’s unique condition serves as a testament to the diversity and complexity of the human genetic makeup, showcasing the extraordinary variations that can occur within our species.
