Thanks for the article and commentary. I found this site, as I am searching... my son was born today here in Japan, with 6 toes on one of his feet. I agree the comments here, unless there is a medical reason to remove his extra toe, his mother and I think he's special to have it. As for heredity, neither his mother or I have extra digits, nor do we know anyone in our family that does at this point. Thank you again for the viewpoints/comments.
