The people of this African tribe consider themselves descendants of birds: they have two toes Life

The isolated tribe suffers from a rare ‘ostrich foot’ disease which leaves them with only two toes, the Daily Star reports.

Adventurer Drew Binsky visited Zimbabwe’s Kanemba region to visit led by tribesmen and find out how they fight against a strange birth defect.

Even 25 percent led by children are born with this condition, which causes them to have only two big toes that point inward, making their feet look like claws. Guided people rarely marry outside their own tribe, so the condition, ectrodactyly, is passed down from generation to generation.

Ectrodactyly is very rare outside of the genus, affecting less than one in 90,000 people. Guided deny claims that their condition was caused by “witchcraft and sorcery” and claim that they were “made by God”.

Guided legends say that their ancestors were large birds that flew from a planet called Liitolaphisiand settled among people.

“The Vadoma are still considered to be one of the few remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in Zimbabwe, living relatively isolated and preserving their traditions,” explained D.Binsky.

One led by the teenager told him that it was difficult to manage with two toes, because the unusual shape of the feet made it impossible to buy shoes. This means that walking long distances on rough, rocky soil can be very painful.

Guided people rarely marry outside their tribe.

However, it is believed led by the boys can play football as well as their five-toed cousins ​​and are said to be able to climb trees at “exceptional” speeds.

They have always been shy and reclusive, partly because they suffered ridicule from outsiders because of their strange disability of two fingers. The long-standing isolation was only further strengthened by the ongoing military conflicts in the region.

Guided the insularity of the genus means that unusual deformity actually becomes somewhat more common among them. D. Binsky’s translator explains: “The number of these young people marrying girls who are closely related is growing.”

This deformity is also found in other tribes, such as those living in the Kalahari desert talunda and taluta kalgana in nations. Some researchers believe that all these tribes are historically descended from a single population.
