we all use have 6 toes and fingers. But a long time ago our bodies said that we did not need an extra toe and finger, so over time the fingers and toes shrunk because we never used the extra toe and finger, its called adaptation. So then it shrinks and shrinks until, it disappeared. But some people today still have them, because they use them.
