Is your second toe longer than your big toe? For centuries it's been called the "Greek foot" — a supposed sign of ancient bloodline. But when DNA scientists actually studied it across 790,000+ people, the results told a completely different story… one that goes back over 4 million years to how humans first learned to walk.
In this video: the real genetics behind Morton's toe, why it doesn't follow simple inheritance rules, why populations differ in how common it is, and what the evolution of the human foot actually reveals about your ancestors — even if it's not the myth you were told.
