Ever since the beginning of human civilization, different types of changes have been seen in humans. But their basic form, i.e. things like two legs, two hands, one head, 20 fingers in total, etc. have remained the same. But with time, there has been a difference in the basic nature of some people, or obviously tribes, after which they appear different from the people of the rest of the world. An African tribe (Tribe with ostrich like feet) is like this. He has only two toes on his feet. Their legs are like those of an ostrich. For this reason, the people of this tribe believe that their ancestors used to be birds.

According to the report of Daily Star News website, people of Vadoma tribe live in Kayemba area of Northern Zimbabwe. These people are also known by the name Dema or Doma. He is suffering from Ostrich Foot Syndrome. From the name itself you can understand that their legs look like those of an ostrich. In scientific language it is also called Ectrodactyly.

legs are connected
This is a type of genetic condition, which these people have from birth. Because of this, the belief of these people that their ancestors were birds is completely wrong. If you search about this condition on Google, you will find some other names for it, like Lobster Claw Syndrome or Two-Toed Syndrome. This condition affects the hands and legs of a person. As soon as the child is born, the fingers or toes of the child remain connected to each other. Which looks like an ostrich bird. Their fingers or thumb do not develop since birth. This disease is being transferred from one generation to another in the tribe.
These people marry only within their own tribe
According to Daily Star, American vlogger Drew Binsky also visited this place. According to reports, 25 percent of Vadoma children are born with this disorder. These people do not get married outside their community. This condition is very rare outside the tribe, it affects only 1 in 90 thousand people. The people of the tribe also believe that someone has done black magic on their tribe, due to which they have received this punishment.
