The Vadoma Tribe

 The Vadoma Tribe



There is a tribe found in Zimbabwe called "Vadoma", they carry a genetic "ectrodactyly" (defect) in which they only have two toes, commonly called "Ostrich Claws". People in this tribe are prohibited from marrying or having marital relations with people outside the tribe.They use their feet to their advantage to easily climb trees and gather food. The vadoma do not see this as a genetic defect but rather a blessing that is passed on from generation to generation.
