Person Invites You To Learn ‘How Rare Is Your Body?’ In His Viral Series

Humans have been puzzled by things like the depths of the ocean and outer space. But one equally mysterious object has been standing right in front of you when you look in the mirror. It’s a human body.

And one TikTok creator named Knowledgesaurus has been stripping away the mystery surrounding it in a series of “How Rare Is Your Body?” videos. From explaining what percentage of people have features like cracked tongue, angled palm crease, or an extra rib, to counting how many people have the ability to write with both their right and left hands, or can make a clover out of their tongue.

The informative and fun videos gained Knowledgesaurus immediate popularity with millions of views and 1.3M followers, so let’s see some of the most interesting body facts that will pump your biology knowledge muscle so you can show it off in the next trivia session.

When asked how he came up with the idea for the "How Rare Are You?" series, Knowledgesaurus said it started after making a bunch of videos and seeing what people enjoyed watching. “I realized that people love to know information about themselves and love statistics. So that’s how the series began.”

“I always loved knowing random useless information to surprise people with,” the content creator said and added: “I think it all started when I was younger. If someone was talking about something I didn’t know much about, I would go and look up stuff about it and find interesting information about that topic so I could have a better conversation next time.”

Something else that is also rare: having both red hair and blue eyes, and it’s actually the rarest combo on earth. This is because red hair and blue eyes alone are both rare, and both parents have to carry the gene for the child to have red hair and blue eyes. I actually have red hair and blue eyes. Both my sisters have red-ish hair, but their eyes are not blue and their hair isn’t nearly as red as mine.

I have at least 16 of these, I wonder if some are likely to be associated with each other? Morton's toe, hyper flexible, extra rib, dimples, eye brows, seeing extra colours, ear wiggling, touch tongue to nose, nostril flare, preauricular sinus, whistle, gap tooth, never needed braces, gleeking, goosebumps and snoring. I only had 3 wisdom teeth, which is quite rare as well, and a form of Synaesthesia where I experience pain as smells.

Green eyes are incredibly rare, believe it or nto. Only 2% of the entire worlds population has green eyes, and iirc, they are the rarest eye colour aside from "mutations" that may cause different eye colours like a reddish or violet eye (albinism for example) (I also use the term mutation lightly, as funnily enough, the genes that cause a person to have green eyes initially was a mutation, same as with blue eyes, and this can be tracked down to certain specific ancestors, meaning people with green or blue eyes may be very, very, very, veryx10000 distantly related to each other xP) That means that freaking amber eyes are actually more common than green eyes. o.o So not, "boring old green eyes"!
