Sometimes people are born with genetic mutations that may hinder their lives. Some of
these mutations are really useless and serve no purpose other than embarrassing them.
let’s look at 10 most useless human mutations.
Number 10) Clubbed nails
Clubbed nail is one of the most useless human mutations. It is a change in the structure
of fingernails or toenails in which the finger and nail takes on the appearance of an
upside-down spoon, and become red and sponge-like which looks very uncomfortable.
Clubbing may be a normal, inherited trait but in many cases, it is roughly 90% of cases
are related to lung cancer. In clubbing, the nail beds soften. The nails may seem to
"float" instead of being firmly attached. Clubbing most often comes on gradually, but
may occur fairly rapidly for some people. For people with secondary clubbing, the
symptom may go away after successful treatment of the underlying cause. Nobody is
quite certain why clubbing occurs, and there are probably several mechanisms. It's
thought that for many people, less supply of blood in the distant regions of the fingers
results in the formation of connective tissue leading to the appearance of clubbing. It is
just a useless and ugly human mutation that no one wants.
Number 9.) Tail
You might be thinking how can humans have tails. You might be surprised to know that,
according to science, tails were common in humans and everyone had them. People
who did not have them were called different and weird. Fascinating, isn’t it? Now tails
are very rare in humans. The occurrence of human tail is a phenomenon of great
interest to both lay and medical community. There are only 40 cases of true human tails
reported in literature, hence this condition warrants review. This condition usually
presents in newborns, causes anxiety and fear in parents, hence it is brought to medical
attention very early. Babies born with a vestigial tail will need to undergo an imaging test
such as an MRI or an ultrasound. This is necessary to classify the tail and make sure it
isn’t associated with a medical condition like spina bifida, which can be very dangerous.
Surgery is the treatment for a vestigial tail. Because a “true” vestigial tail is composed of
adipose and muscular tissue, doctors can quickly remove these types of tails with a
simple surgery. This procedure doesn’t cause any residual side effects. Would you want
your newborn to be born with tails?
Number 8.) super tasters
A supertaster is a person who tastes certain flavors and foods more strongly than other
people. The human tongue is wrapped in taste buds. The small, mushroom-shaped
bumps are covered with taste receptors that bind to the molecules from your food and
help tell your brain what you’re eating. Some people have more of these taste buds and
receptors, so their perception of flavor is stronger than the average person.
Supertasters are particularly sensitive to bitter flavors in foods such as broccoli,
spinach, coffee, beer, and chocolate. Most scientists agree that supertasting is a really
useless human mutation and it is very common. About 25 percent of the population
qualifies as supertasters. Women are more likely to be supertasters than men.
Supertasters may seem like picky eaters. They may even have a lengthy list of foods
they won’t eat simply because the food is so unpleasant. Indeed, certain foods aren’t
going to find their way into a supertaster’s grocery cart, like broccoli, spinach. Who even
eats those?Number 7.) Piebaldism
Do you hate your white chunk of hair or unpigmented skin that you were born with?
Blame it on the useless human mutation known as piebaldism. Piebaldism is a genetic
condition, typically present at birth, in which a person develops an unpigmented or white
patch of skin or hair. The cells that determine eye, skin, and hair color are absent in
certain areas in those with piebaldism. These cells are called melanocytes. In nearly 90
percent of those affected, the area of piebaldism is seen as a patch of white hair near
the forehead, also called a white forelock. Some people may have areas of
unpigmented skin or hair in the eyelashes, eyebrows, and skin under the larger
unpigmented area of the white forelock as well. It is completely harmless and useless
mutation that some people are born with. There seems to be no treatment for it.
Number 6.) colorblindness
Color blindness occurs when you are unable to see colors in a normal way. It is also
known as color deficiency. Color blindness often happens when someone cannot
distinguish between certain colors. This usually happens between greens and reds, and
occasionally blues. In the retina, there are two types of cells that detect light. They are
called rods and cones.
