Human tails seem to be a biological set back from evolvingfrom apes. Somme of the genetic information from apes is still necoded into us, so we have the ability to devolve into apes. Why does it look unnatural, when nature had everything to do with it LD

Actually, the coccyx is the true tailbone (it's the bone that hangs down from one's sacrum), but it's true that it doesn't serve any definate purpose, save for muscle attachment and a shock absorber when one sits down (read more here). The sacrum is the large bone that holds one's illiums together and is a very important part of one's anatomy; hardly a useless leftover.

Thanks for correcting me on that one - yes that's what I meant, the coccyx. Sometimes having wool for a brain really isn't helpful

I did always know that it is a small possible chance of you getting a tail. But it's VERY SMALL. Those were the first pictures I have seen with somebody actually having a tail. Usuall, the doctors cut the tail off if it's there right after a baby is born. Interesting pics though.

Urr they loook rough! I thought they'd look like a dogs tail. I wonder if humans wer meant to have tail or not. Lol do they wag their tails when they are happy? i think ive seen that before in guiesness world records

Animals have tails for assisting in balance and steering, propulsion,
grasping, grooming (swatting flies is one example) and for display. Thousands of years ago, the animals we evolved from most likely walked on all four of their feet. However, now that we've evolved, and walk on two feet, there really isn't any need for a tail anymore.

lol...I dunno about which Christians believe this is the mark of the beast. Biblically I know that the mark of the beast isn't gonna be something we're born with or have no control over. So coming from the Bible, and as a Christian Minister, I think the "Christians" who believe it's the mark of the beast aren't quite accurate. My best guess would be a birth defect/gene thing. There are some pretty interesting...occurrences that happen as a result of the wrong genes being dominant in a body. As a Christian I have my beliefs on why things like this happen specifically, being that as sin entered the world through man, so did mishaps and chance and "negative" occurrences. Disease wasn't here until man sinned, because the world was without fault. I believe that same general principle applies to all aspects of life where fault may be found.

Fixed QUOTE tag. When QUOTE startes, make sure it ends with /QUOTE.

I am a Christian, and we do not believe genetic abnormalities are a wark of the Beast. It's just the way God made them and it's there for a reason (Or he wouldn't have put it there). We are all beautiful, weather we are quote unquote "normal."

Hey I found this interesting, On Ripley's Believe It Or Not. A Baby Is worshiped by thousands of people becuase he has a tail. That it one lucky Baby!

Human REPTILIAN Tails
What Is The Human Tail? (graphical Content)

The tails that some humans are born with are the Reptilian genetics that we have as our baseline structure. To prove this, this genetic sequence can be witnessed when observing the fetus in a womb, first the fetus takes on a Reptilian-form, then the Mammalian genetics are added to that and the fetus takes human-form. Humans did not evolve from anything. The original home to humans is in the Lyrae star system. Humans have Lyraen Genetics. Somewhere around 200,000 years ago the Reptilian beings who lived on Lemuria on Earth tried to make peace with the Human Lyraen Enemy continent Atlantis, which I am sure you all heard of. They combined both genetics and made what we are today as a symbolic right to ensure a peaceful co-habitation of this planet. Reptilians would only agree to it if the baseline genetic structure was Reptilian and Mammalian added to that, not the other way around. However, this mediation attempt did not work and the Human Atlanteans sunk Lemuria using electromagnetic pulse equipment powered by artificially manufactured giant crystals to break up the earth's crust at the center of Lemuria sinking the continent. The surviving Reptilians went UNDERGROUND into the Inner Earth into a vast underground cave system where they still exist today and this is where the legends of Demons in hell under the earth come from. There is a Sun inside of the earth it is a natural occurrence that happens when a planet is formed by a star ejecting lava-like material and then during the spinning and cooling process. Lava gets entrapped in the center of the hollow planet and levitates in the center. The Aurora Borealis is not radiation from our Sun in space, but rather the light from the Inner Sun of our planet coming out through the North Pole opening. Any questions?

I myself have a tail, and find it disgusting that people can point fingers at us and say that we're mutants or something. I find it rather hard living life with a tail but I persist to continue living life normally. If you saw me on the street you would never be able to tell. As for the question "Lol do they wag their tails when they are happy? " no we don't. The tail is simply a genetic disorder where the extension of the spinal cord has not dropped off once the embryo has developed past 5 weeks.

Do you think of us as dogs?
