Abstract in brief

  • Polydactyly, the presence of extra fingers or toes, has fascinated people since ancient times and has played a role in developing scientific ideas about inheritance and evolution.
  • Historically, studying polydactyly contributed to understanding how traits are inherited and sparked debates on development processes like preformation versus epigenesis, as well as atavism versus malformations.
  • In modern genetics and evolutionary biology, polydactyly helps scientists understand gene regulation and limb development, revealing that changes in digit formation can occur through both gradual and sudden shifts in traits.]
