      I personally saw Mr. Da Silva play Cavaquinho when I was a teenager back in the 90's as he was good friends with the late father of a good friend of mine. Both seniors were in the Clube do Choro (a foundation that houses a club for the Brazilian Choro Music enthusiasts) and in those days family barbecues meant music as well!! It's a known fact here in Brasília that the Da Silva Family is very gentle and lovable and they have always treasured their difference. I am an amateur guitar player with some skills. However, no matter how fast and precisely I do my stuff, I'll never get to be as graceful as Mr. Da Silva.

      There are different forms of polydactyly. This family has a very rare type - the most desirable type - where the digits develop normally from the carpal bones. They may have an extra carpal bone for the extra digit, between the trapezoid and the capitate, but I would have to see an x-ray image to know.

    • @Handlebeinghighfived
      @Handlebeinghighfived Рік тому +14

      It's dominant because it carries double sequence of chromosome 7q36.3. The double sequence of chromosome 7q36.3 often dominates over the gene which carries single sequence of chromosome 7q36.3. Now this defect creates lots of problems that interferes with daily life like writing and typing and also wearing shoes while walking for long hours. Their legs and hands get more strained than people with 5 fingers and toes.

    I was also born with Polydactyl (a person or animal with more than five fingers or toes on one hand/foot or both hands/foot, and so was my dad. We were the only ones in the family who (as far as I'm aware) who had this condition. I got them removed as soon I was born and I don't know when my dad did. I may not have them now but I'm still happy to know there are others like me or like I was. My legs were also messed up and the doctors wanted to break them but my no. I ask her what would happen if they did, and she says "I would have never let them." Be doing great my whole life 2005-17 so far. Don't know what would have happened if she let them.

      This is abnormality. If during replication process, the sequence of chromosome 7q36.3 gets doubled. This results in having 6 or more fingers. Your own children can develop this if during the embryonic stage by accident if the sequence of chromosome 7q36.3 is doubled your baby during it's embryonic stage will develop 6 or more fingers.

    Pretty cool! I was born with six fingers on each hand. Sadly, the "extra" digits were removed when I was a toddler. Growing up in the bible belt I was always regarded as a freak by those who knew and it's easy to see, as I have scars where my fingers were removed. I love seeing these happy people proud of what they have.

      Evolution is controlled by what genes produces more copies. There's probably nothing about having 6 fingers that means you'll successfully have more children who go on to have more children.

    It'd be amazing if someone who had this condition became a professional classical pianist and composer. They'd get pretty famous and make a lot of money for a classical musician because of the curiosity. They could compose and play music that no one else could play because they can play chords that no one else can. Even though it's possible to compose piano music with much more complex chords now because of computers, being able to see an actual human play chords with extra notes would still be enough of a novelty that they could get famous and make money from it, I think.
