Do you ever wish humans had evolved tails?

Question

I always wanted one when I was a kid. Come on, I'm allowed one really dumb question per week, right?

Answer 1

And here all this time I thought we lost tails through evolution. I guess there's sects in Darwinism too.

Answer 2

The medical statistic book is a bit long in the tooth that I used for this answer. However, 1 in a 1000 births of human children have a tail at birth. Usually the doctor deliverying the child snips the vestigial tail and bandaids the small wound before the mother ever sees it.

Answer 3

LOL
I like your question. Ive never thought about tails. But the more I think about it, they would really come in handy. Oh what fun I could have with a tail! Monkeys bars would be even more fun too! I want a tail that is strong enough to balance on and flexible enough to swing on. So like a kangaroo/monkee tail I guess would be good for me. :o) No pig tails of course. Or rat tails.

Answer 4

Yea dude, then I could hang from trees with my tail. And I can ninja people too.

But its not too far from reality, sometimes people are born not with a tail, but a flap of skin right where the tail would be on the tail bone and it is longer then thicker like a tail. But it is far too small and doctors cut it off when the baby comes out.

Answer 5

No...it makes fitting into those tight jeans much too difficult!....and talk about the short skirt problem!!!!

Just too much hassle....

I would take wings, though!

Answer 6

I always wanted wings, but to each his own.

Answer 7

Answer 8
