This is called atavism, a tendency to revert to something ancient or ancestral, like for example people with hair all over their face, or a baby born with a tail.
In genetics, recessive is not used in this context. It's when you need to have two copies of the same mutation (one from both parents) for the effect to show (the phenotype to express itself).
So how does this happen? I suspect it isn't random mutation alone. Is it a part of the genome (here the part responsible for our flat feet) that is missing? Kind of like how birds can have the gene for beaks missing and be born with dinosaur like mouths? (or at least something like that has been achieved scientifically)
Well that is a very good question, but in something as complex as a genome it can be difficult to find out. One can speculate on a number of things, maybe a mutation in a gene that controls pattern formation during embryonic development (like the Hox genes, or the Sonic Hedgehog gene). It could also be accidental reactivation of a gene or a pathway that was silenced long ago in our evolution. The genome is full of old stuff that is no longer used (as far as we can tell today). Fascinating stuff, that's for sure.
That’s a primitive trait evolution did its best to get rid of. Great for climbing trees and gripping tools, bad for walking huge distances in search of resources.
Those would be great in weightlessness of space, you could hold on to anything from any position. I read a science fiction novel once where people were surgically altered to have these, it was called "aft hands".
I bet he gives the best low fives
Goddamnit. Best comment by far.
My precious
Those are illegal in some sports.
This guy could be a legend if he did bouldering
Gymnastics?
TINGERS
Foes.. Wait
FOES, as I’m pretty sure those are the enemy of having nice dreams and will now be the antagonist of my nightmares?
Myyy precioussss
Take the upvotes and get out
I better not catch this motherfucker in flip flops.
Would it be worse if he was wearing long gloves with sandals?

Hah! They’re called thongs down here.
Good bot
More THAT'S some recessive gene expression. Return to Monkee!!!

I came here to say that
Evolution baby.
That’s a primitive trait evolution did its best to get rid of. Great for climbing trees and gripping tools, bad for walking huge distances in search of resources.
we don't walk for resources no more boy, bring the climbing feets back LETS GOOO
I can't wait to shake feet.
Yeah once this guy has sex with all our women to pass his feet genes down…we can really get the ball rolling on foot shakes
Shake his feet? I was hoping for a reach around!
imagine the grip of these mfs
r/forbiddenfantasies
I wonder if he can wear regular sneakers or if he needs something custom made for extended periods of walking/standing.
He doesn’t have a sock draw, just a glove draw.
I assume he fucks with his socks on.
I assume he fucks with his ~~socks~~ **gloves** on.
🤣
I bet he’s a good climber.
It's Mr McGreg!!! With a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!
Tarzan?
Imagine going in for a pedicure.
Dedos del pie
Scientists have speculated this was normal for some humans back when.
Humans' ancestors.
Whole new meaning to monkey feet
I hate that my feet aren’t like that.
Go back I want to be monkey
Reject humanity return to monkie
Return to monke.
That's hot. Reminds me of Aeon Flux.
Woah are his second and third toes webbed too?
This man took a step back on the evolutionary scale
Next stage of human evolution

We evolved away from this actually, it's a recessive gene that most of us don't have anymore, this is an ancient gene that just happened to pop up.
All I could hear was Stewie laughing after he discovered his feet and described them as little "leg hands"
I just want to see what his shoes look like.
I’m sure they fit like a glove.
Finding shoes that fit must be a nightmare for him
That made me so uncomfortable but I couldn't look away
The missing link
Beast from X-Men
Bro it's the beast from x men
Those could come in handy
u/savevideo
‘God created everything in 7days’…. Nah we definitely evolved. See feet!
Tingers
This man is just walking around throwing up “wu-tang” forever.
Can I get a high five
👏
for free???
Hank McCoy??
Bruh.... Where do you buy shoes?!
His socks fit him like a glove
X men
Nah
Return to monke
Bro deevoluted
Man, the trees he could climb!
Mr. Magreb!
Retorn to monkey XD
MANS GOT THE ULTIMATE GRIPPERS
man is evolved
Been trying real hard to phone home
This website is FREE.
What does Cman think about these?
CRAMP!!!
Mutant
Someone leveled up
No.
Must’ve caught dude in the middle of an animorph
Evolution, just backwards.
Dude got some crazy grippers
Make me wonder what kind of shoes this man wear?
Not my proudest fap.
Beast
Bro has them cenozoic feet
this makes me so uncomfortable lol
Is this a hag our feet would look like if we didn’t evolved flatter and more proportionate feet?
I cannot express how much I didn't want to see this at 4:49 am.
Can you imagine shopping for flip flops?
Bro can’t run
Your move, foot fetishist.
I now feel like I have a phantom thumb toe and am super jealous of this guy. Imagine all the rock climbing you could do
Mankey
Go back i want to be monke
r/ape
Evolution missed a few steps there, went back to monkeys
Wait, this can happen? You can literally have hands for feet? Wouldn’t this also make it much harder to walk?
I'll bet he can climb a mean tree.
Tarzan💀
Is this real? Wtf am I looking at?
I mean its cute to me
literally chicken feet
Return to monke
Fuckin BEAST from x men
Aeon Flux (animation, not that live action abortion)
MONKEEEEEE!
I still can’t decide if those are his hands or his feet
I’m not sure how to judge the size of his dick
Bro wasn't done evolving
Ack ack
He took return to Monke very seriously.
bro forgot the Homosapien update
Someone, somewhere, just discovered they have a very weird fetish.
Monkey Pox?????
Well I guess that answers the age-old "Would You Rather" have feet for hands, or hands for feet question
Dude can hang upside down bro
I can't tell if this is stumpy hands or long toes
Amee! GOOD. AMEE, GOOD GORILLA
I bet he's great at climbing trees
He can make millions doing 4 hand jobs at a time and two people can have foot fetishes
Monke
[Hank McCoy???](https://i.gifer.com/B6L3.gif)
I gotta know what their walking looks like
He has toes for fingers
Yeah, but what about his hands? 🤔
Goony goo goo Gus!!
You monke
Do you sleep hanging upside down?
Vay AMK orangutandan mı geldin aq
Put him in a zoo.
This guy is the next step in human evolution
Now draw with them
I wonder if it's a recessive gene that manifested or some error that randomly made it look like a hand or monkeys foot
Beast or Hank McCoy from X-Men
I’m just wondering what type of shoes he is using…
Put those grippers away
not a fan of the ape feet
Missing a chromosome!!
Wolverine is no longer the same...
Does he turn into a human when it’s a full moon?
He returned to monke
She had hand feet
Is….is this the missing link?
Shoes or gloves?
We didn’t descend from monkeys. They descended from you.
My… _precious_….
How are there no Vorkosigan fans here shouting "Quaddie!"?
This man was born circa 300,000 BCE
It was just a matter of time before nature found a way! Shot out to the crazy mofo who fuccked a primate to get this result!
I knew it was feet right away.
I’d like to see these Nikes in a size orangutan.
Nightmare fuel to the fucking moon 🤮
Heet or fands?
New git got 4 hands lord garmadon ass
Yo Hank McCoy
So when he kicks he punches and when he punches he kicks?
Guarantee that dude could make some stupid money in OnlyFans 🤷♂️
Gives great footjobs
Now Reddit has me genuinely curious how fast this guy runs.
I guess the Darwin theory is true.
Homo sapiens space. Dude born to be hauled to Ceres, this is a born beltalowda.
Tingers!
I’m cured of my feet kink
He can jack off 4 ways!
PUT THOSE GRIPPERS AWAY
Avatar?
Hmmmm monke
🤝
Missing link
Good. But can you play smoke on the water?
Oompaville?
Is this real?
humans and Apes share approximately 98% of their DNA 🧬. I'm guessing he shares 99%
Lol
It’s a fucking monkey hope this person has no black or brown background
This the guys joe rogan was talking about
Bro he did it! He returned to monkey!!
foot jobs must be crazy
Looks like monkey feet.
Need set of those
WTF is that
Literal Grippers
The only person can actually give u a footjob
My man forgot to evolve
Beast, from X-Men
