People Who Are One in A Million

No Nail, No Problem

Not only are nails great butt scratchers and nose pickers, but our talons actually evolved 55 million years ago to benefit our grip and fine motor skills. And while for most of us nails are a given, some people are born with a rare condition that renders them completely nail-less. Known as Anonychia, it can affect fingers, toes, or both.

Get a Load of This

Yep, this isn't some gruesome Photoshop, but a real condition known as fimbriated folds of the tongue. These are essentially excess pieces of skin, which run along the frenulum, also known as the tissue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth.

Impossible Aging

Meet UK woman, Zara Hartshorn. Both she and her mom, Tracy, suffer from a rare condition, which has left them looking decades older than they really are. The condition known as Cutis Laxa, is caused by mutations in various genes, but primarily in the ELN gene.

Now, Imagine the Complete Opposite

That is where a person looks much younger than they actually are. Well, such a condition exists and it's known as Highlander Syndrome. And in some cases, it has left fully-grown adults looking like infants. Take for example, Shin Hyomyung from Korea.

Jamie Keeton, Man of Glue

We'd all love a superpower. Be it the power of flight, invisibility, or maybe even super strength. Well, one US man actually does have a real life superpower, though it's probably not one you've ever fantasized about having. He can stick objects to his head.

Even Stranger Things

All right, calling all "Stranger Things" fans. If you've ever seen the popular Netflix series, you'll know that the character Dustin played by Gaten Matarazzo has a condition affecting the development of his teeth, and resulting in him not having a collar bone.

An Eye For An Eye

Ah, the eyes, the window to the soul. Our eyes are one of the most defining features of our face. So, you can imagine losing one might be pretty disconcerting. However, when one man lost his right eye, he decided to shall we say, look on the bright side of life.

Tears Of Stone

Why do we cry? Well, it's a question that comes with many answers. From mean YouTube comments to the "Last of Us" binges. As far as science is concerned, however, research suggests that, while the reason our eyes wet themselves under emotional distress is currently unknown, doing so does seem to trigger the release of endorphins and oxytocin, which can make us feel better.

Thumbs All The Way Up

While we primates first developed opposable thumbs as an adaptation to living in the trees and grasping branches, these days we find them much more attuned for texting, unless you're like my mom and go index finger style. Point is, opposable thumbs are very useful and relatively rare in the animal kingdom.

Seeing Is Believing

You might look at me and admire my big eyes, but these I'm afraid are but a figment of digital artwork. However, if you really wanna see some impressively bulbous balls, then set your specs on Kim Goodman.

Foreign Accent Syndrome

We all have a unique accent. In fact, oh, I'm actually from England, and oh, I've been putting on a fake American accent all this time to appease you Yankee doodle dandies. (Narrator coughing) Anyway, while accents tend to indicate a person's environment or social class, There's actually a syndrome whereby individuals can unwillingly develop unusual accents often from places they've never even been.

Alien Man

The desire to fit in among our peers is a natural part of the human condition and most likely rooted in evolutionary survival. From the clothes we wear to social etiquette, many people strive for normality. However, one man who is in no rush to be "normal" is Frenchman Anthony Loffredo.

The Ulas Family

It's believed that we humans first evolved to walk upright around three to 6 million years ago. Which not only freed our hands for carrying food, tools and babies, but allowed us to appear bigger and more intimidating. However, mysteriously one family seemingly hasn't evolved to stand upright, but instead, walk on all fours.

Adalia Rose

With 3 million YouTube subscribers, Miss Adalia Rose was a truly rare individual in more ways than one. She was born with a genetic disorder called Hutchinson Guilford Progeria often referred to as Progeria for short. Due to Adalia's condition, she unfortunately passed away in 2022 at just 15 years old.
