Other individuals: Various news reports mention other individuals, including a girl with 12 fingers and 14 toes, and a family with fourteen members each having 12 fingers and toes. These examples further illustrate the occurrence of polydactyly.
Understanding Polydactyly
Polydactyly is a genetic condition resulting in extra fingers or toes. The severity varies, impacting the function and appearance of the hands and feet. While often surgically corrected, many individuals with polydactyly lead full and productive lives, as evidenced by Mr. Dender, a carpenter mentioned in the provided video, who adapted to his condition.
Note: While the question mentions "Who has 14 fingers?", several references highlight individuals with more than 14 digits in total (fingers and toes). The answer encompasses these occurrences, as the question implicitly relates to individuals with an unusual number of digits. The reference to 14 "tiny finger hands" on Amazon refers to a product, not an individual. References to the number 14 in relation to Finger Lakes or fingerprint protocols are irrelevant to the question.
