“How Rare Are You?”: Woman Shares Random But Interesting Genetic Facts About Humans And Here’re 30 Of The Best Ones
Interview
Human beings are awesome. And the closer you look at them, the more intriguing surprises you’re bound to find. What’s especially interesting are our genes and how they’re expressed. You might not even know it, but your genetics might make you rarer than you might think! Let's have a look at some of these rare traits.
Florida-based video content creator Lexi Slaven, who also goes by her internet pseudonym Yolkfather, has created a whole bunch of videos that are as educational as they are entertaining. In her ‘How rare are you?’ TikTok video series, she examines how rare certain genetic traits really are. Starting from the basics like red hair and blue eyes and moving on to jaw-dropping things like actually being able to sneeze with your eyes open. (Now that’s a superpower we might be interested in if it turns out we can’t actually fly!)
Check out some of Lexi’s most captivating rare facts about human beings and upvote the ones that left you surprised, Pandas. Oh, and we’d love to hear if you’ve got any of these traits or can do anything mentioned in this list. For instance, I’ve got blue eyes and that means that I’m part of barely 8 percent of the entire population of the world with that fact alone!
Bored Panda reached out to Lexi to learn more about her videos and herself as a content creator. Scroll down for the full interview.

I was very curious to learn more about the inspiration behind the super popular 'How rare are you?' videos. "My inspiration behind this series was to try to get people to embrace what makes them unique!" Lexi told Bored Panda. "I think it resonated with so many people because I tried to include many different things so that hopefully whoever was watching would be able to find something that they could relate to," she said she was as inclusive as she could be.
Bored Panda was interested to hear a bit about what it's like to have such a large following on TikTok. Lexi opened up that it's been a life-changing experience. "It has changed my life! It still shocks me that there are so many people who love and support me and care about what I have to say. It’s given me confidence in who I am and has made me a better person because I know that I have younger fans who look up to me and I want to be a good role model for them."

35% of the population has no wisdom teeth. And I'm jealous of you guys because you never have to go through the pain.
Katie Lutesinger 3 years ago
I have wisdom teeth, but I'm the only person I know who not only has all four of them, but had them come through perfectly straight with no pain. So I'm lucky in a different way I guess. :)
Lexi explained that she followed in the footsteps of her favorite creators and wanted to become a positive role model for others. "When I was younger, I watched a lot of YouTube videos and I had creators that I looked up to. Sometimes if I was having a bad day these videos were like an escape for me and they would cheer me up. I want to be that person for someone else," she said.
"My followers always suggest topics for me to make videos on and I try to listen to them as much as I can!"
Lexi is a force to be reckoned with on TikTok. She has a whopping 2.4 million followers on the platform. Meanwhile, she’s collected just shy of 100 million (that’s right!) likes on TikTok. That just goes to show that the content she creates and her personality shine through in the endless stream of videos on the platform.
The TikToker creates videos about fun facts (that's where her videos about genetic traits come in), does storytimes, shares various theories, and does a bit of everything else.

Heterochromia which means having two different colored eyes is found in less than 1% of the population.
Brandy Dor 3 years ago
My ex husband was left handed, red headed, and had heterochromia, basically a unicorn....and as we all know unicorns are arseholes!
According to World Atlas, the vast majority of the world’s population has brown eyes. However, it’s incredibly difficult to pinpoint the exact number. The best guess is that anywhere from 70 to 79 percent of human beings have brown eyes. Meanwhile, from 8 to 10 percent of people have blue eyes.
Even rarer than blue eyes are hazel and amber eyes, with around 5 percent of the global population (that’s 1 in 20 people on the street) having them. Gray eyes make up barely 3 percent of the total while green ones make up only 2 percent. The rarest eye color is red/violet, with less than a single percent of people having such eyes. Similarly, less than 1 percent of people have heterochromia which means that both of your eyes are different colors.

I had to give my right arm for 6 months to be ambidextrous. I broke it, and the cast covered my hand, so I had to learn how to do everything left handed. So now I’m ambidextrous

People have a very different definition of ambidextrous. I would say it has to be that you have equal abilities with both hands, so you can play sports, write, use scissors, eat, whatever it is, just as well with both hands.

I’m slightly ambidextrous. I’m mostly right-handed, but there are some things that work better with my left. I can throw a ball farther with my left arm than my right. I also wear my watch on my right wrist like a southpaw does. I even balance better on my left leg. I’ve been like this since I can remember, so it isn’t from any kind of training or anything.

I’m ambidextrous and it has it’s downside. I don’t have a strong left - right orientation so I think left but turn right. I have to really concentrate before I give people directions or I’ll mislead them. And, I get lost all the time. Upside is I can mentally create objects in 3D, rotate and reverse view them and know exactly how a complex flat shape will look when folded. Laying out double sided circuit boards was a piece of cake. I used to be able to write mirror image using both hands at once but arthritis now makes it too difficult. Weird, I know🙃!
Jeff Brock 3 years ago
My mother is ambidextrous, but that seems to be the result of coming from a generation that got beatings if they used their left hand. She has beautiful handwriting and you can't tell from looking at it, which hand she used. Weirdly enough, and I have never seen anyone else able to do this, she can write with both hands at the same time...and not necessarily the same thing.
P. Mozzani 3 years ago
My mother (who would be 100 years old today) was beaten and mocked for being left-handed. Her teachers demanded that she use her right hand. My grandmother (European and extremely old-school) used to tie my Mom's left arm behind her, so that she would be forced to use her right hand. She did not become ambidextrous, but her (right-handed) handwriting was always awkward.

I mean I am but not genetically. I had trigger thumb when I was learning how to write, draw and do basic math. So I was forced to use my right hand to do all that. So idk if this count.
Random Anon 3 years ago
This can be acquired to a certain degree though. It was kinda accidental with me when I broke my arm and fractured my wrist from flying off my bike. For six months or so, I had to use my "other" hand for most stuff. It stuck. I can still hold the fork, knife and chopsticks, type, write either way. Though proficiency isn't not exactly on par with the prominent side of course.

I'm sort of. I change hands when doing my eyes, can change hands mid whisking by hand and for some reason weld better with my left hand.
similarly 3 years ago
Thanks to the circumstances that led me to write and eat with my left hand while being basically right handed, while not completely ambidextrous, I'm more able than many. I can throw a ball either hand now, and can shoot left or right, and a lot of other things. I'm generally better with my right, but my left is okay.

The field of genetics continues to advance. Even facts that we took for granted (remember those biology lessons back at school) are now being updated and revised. For instance, scientists used to think that your eye color was determined by only two genes, one from each parent. You’re likely to remember doing some exercises in class where you’d see what color eyes a child would have if one parent has e.g. two dominant brown-eyed genes and one has recessive blue-eyed genes.
However, Healthline points out that we’re now aware that things are far more complicated. “Your eye color is determined by several genes that control melanin production in your iris. Darker eyes have a lot of melanin, while light eyes have only a little.”
#10
Red hair, less than 2% of the population.
#11
Gray eyes, only 1% of the population. Side note, some people say that gray eyes are just a form of blue eyes, but I respectfully disagree.
#12
10% of the world's population has something called Morton's toe, which is where your second toe is longer than your big toe.
Healthline explains that brown eyes look dark to us because they have a lot of light-absorbing melanin. Meanwhile, blue eyes have the least amount of melanin, so they reflect the most light. What this means is that reality isn’t as simple as what a lot of us were used to during biology class.
“Because you inherit genes from your parents, it’s likely that your eyes will be similar in color to one or both of your parents. But it’s also possible for you to have brown eyes, even if both of your parents have blue eyes.”
#13
Only 35% of people have perfect vision without glasses.
Eseri Akullu 3 years ago
I think it's other factors. When I was in school in a rural area, absolutely no one had eye defects even after medical checkups. Then I moved to another school in an urban area and 75% of the class has a eye defect of some sort

Freckles, 5% of the population.
#18
Hazel eyes, 5% of the population.
#19
22% of people can wiggle their ears, but only around 18% of people can wiggle both of them.
#20

#23
33% of the population has a widow's peak.
#24
35% of the population can gleek and 1% can do it on command. If you didn't know, that's basically where you can shoot spit from underneath your tongue.
#25
