I have one and I've heard it was present in basque people, which I have heritage to, and it has been found rarely in early Europeans. Neanderthals also had it and may have bred with modern humans and certain people may have it. It is very rare in modern humans, but some of us still have it. Anyway scientists say it has something to do in helping spacial things and running or something like that. It may help with balance, too. Hope I helped bro.
