toes - do we really need them

Did you know... Orangutans use their toes like fingers to grab food that they cant reach with their hands... mabey in earley human life they did the same

lol, really, i can't imagine human use their toes like orangutan...-----
anyway, toes needed.Ballerina need them.Also, even a full-balance-climbing-mountain-biped-robot really need them. Not using any actuator for toes, just some connected mechanism to balance it, but it is still needed.

can we keep this on topic, i dont give a rats ass about what some ginger monkey can do with it's toes.

timbizcutI have seen a guy who was born without arms (thalidomide baby) play, tune and restring a violin with his toes. I bet he thinks we "really need them"!

lampslammerive broken a toe before. toes are a big part of your balance, and ability to run.

Owned :)Toes are much needed-unless you can prove to us...We have experience here XD

thats only relevent to him though... most humans have fingers, hence the reason why only one person plays the violin with his toes.

completed.

i need my toes because i do gymnastics

Of course we need our toes, if we didn't have them we would fall flat on are faces the whole time and have to walk on our hands and knees!

What kind of question is that how about you cut of your toes and see if you need them and 25% that is a lot of people1/4 of people you see don't have toes that's what your saying

what else would i pick my nose with?

Wow

Yes, If your going to trip, your toes save you, you need these for balance. If you don't have them, get ready to feel the pain when you trip.There are artificial, robotic legs already, surely there might be artificial, robotic toes. That helps the "25%" of the world who doesn't have toes.Seriously, 25%?? It might be 2.5%, or maybe it's a typo, or the one who typed it is a psycho (joke)

I would do unspeakable things to nex with my toes.

no 25%, TWENTY FIVE PERCENT!!! it would be more if it wasnt for inbreeding...

i will bite you.

Its those darn useless toe nails that I hate.

lol true, toes are definitedly needed(i cant see myself being the fastest in my class without them, since i basicly run with my toes :p), however, as Griswold77 said, toe nails are totaly useless... specially when you break one(toe nail) during a soccer match... the pain!!!

nex26it is believed that 25% of the world population do not have any toes:

So, there's a good chance you met someone with no toes. Why don't you ask him/her.

nex26 · #73no 25%, TWENTY FIVE PERCENT!!! it would be more if it wasnt for inbreeding...

WTF?
Are you saying there would be more people with no toes if it wasn't for inbreeding?
Where the heck are you getting this from?

We all know inbreeding = 6 toes on each foot.
I am getting this from LIFE...

Replying to #78

Lol...No inbreeding does not mean you get 6 toes.Maybe you will, but it doesn't mean that happens in every instance of inbreeding.
And besides, you said the number of people without toes would be greater if not for inbreeding.
Even if inbreeding would indeed create individuals with 6 toes every time, that would have no relation to the percentage of people being born without any toes at all.
I think your just yanking my chain, right?
Or do you just usually make things up, and then believe them to be true?

Replying to #79

yeah... if people went out and found a legitimate partner to have kids with, instead of sleeping with their sibling, the number of people without toes would indeed increase. Also inbreeding = 6 toes, and webbed hands... 100% of the time.
