The emergent hand tendon is actually a degenerated muscle, known to scientists as palmaris longus (palm muscle). It formed to help our ancestors climb trees. This muscle is not used anymore, but there are people who are born with the palmar muscle. If you're curious to find out if you have this muscle, place your hand on a flat surface and touch your thumb with your little finger. If you see a muscle in your wrist, you have a very rare trait.

4. Heterochromic
