I know it's genetic, that I didn't get the gene on both X chromosomes, but I was wondering:
I can roll my tongue [so it sounds like I'm purring], so does that have anything to do with the fact that I can't curl it into a clover? Like, is it just one or the other? Are they two sides of the same coin?

lol...rolling your r's you mean, not your tongue, to make that purring sound is by...gargling without any water...don't worry i can't curl it either but the rest of my family can. they're two different things btw

Hi. There should be some survival factor that makes a clover shaped tongue an advantage, such as sucking nectar from a common flower. Otherwise there is only the curiosity factor.

Its because of the gene factor.
