sucks verse presents remarkable body
features that you probably don't have
number one a rare muscle in the wrist
that helped our ancestors climb start by
placing your hand on a flat surface palm
side up touch your thumb and your little
finger together if a tendon pops up on
your wrist then you have a rare muscle
it's called the palmaris longus also
known as the long palmar muscle years
ago this muscle helped our ancestors
climb today it's just a spare part
number two tetrachromatic people can see
color much better than most people the
typical human eye can recognize about 1
million different colors in the visible
spectrum people with a mutation in the X
chromosome have a fourth type of cone
cell in their eyes this makes it
possible for them to see close to 100
times more colors than the average
person the technical name for these
people is tetrachromats one person with
this amazing visual quirk is Conchita
and Tico she has created some pretty
amazing paintings with her gift number
three thanks to a rare genetic
deficiency some people are less likely
to suffer from a heart attack there is a
gene that is present in many tissues and
cell types called pro protein a
confrontation sub to listen Kexin type 9
or pcsk9 when the gene is active it
makes the passage of fat particles
easier this can result in a higher risk
of coronary disease there was a small
fraction of people who have a lower
proportion of this gene that's active in
their cells these people have a lower
risk of having a heart attack
number 4 chimerism gives people two
different colored eyes in Greek
mythology the Chimera was a monster who
could breathe fire it was a lion with a
goat's head coming from its back it also
had a snake-like tail chimerism could
happen in humans however it's not as
scary as the mythical creature some
people have an entirely different set of
DNA than most this causes heterochromia
which gives the person two different
colored eyes one person with this
our phenomenon is Max Scherzer who is a
pitcher for the Red Sox
number five a small part of the
population has increased bone density
scientists are amazed by a gene called
low-density lipoprotein receptor related
protein 5 or L RP 5 this gene makes it
possible for bone cells to die off and
then grow back even stronger this can
give you very strong bones people with a
deficiency in L RP 5 can develop
osteoporosis number 6 only 43 people in
history have ever had golden blood of
the ten remarkable body features that
you probably don't have this is one of
the most rare in 1961 a rare genetic
mutation was discovered that results in
a new and rare blood type called RH null
it's also known as golden blood people
with this blood type can donate to
people with any rare blood type in the
world right now
there are only ten people who can donate
unfortunately the blood doesn't contain
actual gold number seven some people
have an extra rib in their body in the
Bible God puts Adam to sleep he takes
one of his ribs and uses it to create an
entire woman today there are some people
who have an extra rib in their cervical
spine in the neck the bone can vary in
size and if it's large it can be very
uncomfortable if you are one of the
people with this extra rib it doesn't
mean that you are a direct descendant of
Adam it just means that you're one of
the rare people with an extra rib number
eight about 5% of people have a tiny
hole near their ear there are some
people who have a tiny hole next to
their outer ear it's called a pre-cooler
sinus the hole is left over from a time
when all living things had gills today
it's completely useless if you do have
this hole don't try to breathe
underwater you no longer have gills you
will drown number 9 Vista chiness if you
have ever looked at a photo of Elizabeth
Taylor you might notice that she always
has a very full set of eyelashes this is
not because she's always
wearing false lashes nor that she's
wearing lash extensions it is because
she has a rare genetic mutation called
dist Atty assist it causes a second row
of eyelashes to grow if the lashes grow
too close to the eye it can cause severe
eye irritation this is one condition
that women all over the world would kill
to have they would no longer need to
worry about lash lengthening mascara or
putting on fake lashes subscribe for
