A close friend's daughter had pain in her tailbone and later discovered after a scan that hair was growing from her tailbone and was surgically removed.

Not my department, but there's also theory they never had any. Just saying, google for it.

Wow! That's interesting!

Well, yea, we were made that way, by very experienced genetic engineers.. which still has better evidence the our 'evolution' ..lol

This lends credence to some of my own theories I've been working on involving evolution, but not related to tails.

Also lends credence to the notion that we need more people involved in science who experience or have experienced an aspect of life differently than most that leads to "aha" moments in that field.
A line of curiosity brought on by thoughts that one would otherwise never have.
Ya know, the very initial drive of all of science🤷‍♀️

I was born with a little tail about 5”. I can only imagine my parent’s reaction. The doctor just snipped it off and said “it happens”. I’ve Googled it and it was interesting about side effects,etc. I can truly say that “I was born this way “.
