“Webbed toes is the common name for syndactyly affecting the feet. It is characterised by the fusion of two or more digits of the feet. This is normal in many birds, such as ducks; amphibians, such as frogs; and mammals, such as kangaroos. In humans it is considered unusual, occurring in approximately one in 2,000 to 2,500 live births.”

Does anyone else on The Apricity have this? I have slightly webbed second and third toes on both feet and have been interested in what populations this is most common among, or other information.

Thankfully not. In my country it seems to be more commonly found on mixed-race people.

Interesting. What kind of racial admixture? It seems to have carried through my maternal side and my mother is almost entirely Slavic.

At this point I haven’t found anything of evidence that this trait is related to specific racial groups, but it is a hereditary mutation that I have only seen occasionally in slight forms on myself and on other whites.

No; it seems extremely rare

Non-European admixture, specially South Asian and Amerindian.
