The human body is remarkable. It can not only perform incredibly demanding feats—like landing a triple Axel—but also endure far more than our fears sometimes make us believe.
To reassure you that we can adapt to so much of what the world throws at us, we’ve put together a list of pictures showing people with unusual physical features.
From inherited quirks to wild scars and other unique traits, this gallery highlights that if there’s one design that never goes out of style, it’s us.
