About 1 in 500 births has an extra digit - either toe or finger. Polydactyly is the name of this trait, and there are some regions where it is more common, so inheritance obviously plays a part.
In modern society, such extra digits are usually removed soon after birth, for they confer no great benefit, and do attract unwanted attention.
