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.”
