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.

25% of people sneeze when they're exposed to direct sunlight. It's called the photic sneeze reflex.
30% of people can flare their nostrils on command. However that muscle has very little use and is usually weak, so a lot of people can't do it on command.
Only 12% of people have tetrachromacy - the ability to see a lot more colors than the majority of people. They can see about 10 times as many shades and colors as someone with normal vision.
Aight dangit, now I wanna know what colors I'm missing out on...Or am I not missing any at all....hmmmmm.
You aren't missing much. Tetrachromacy in humans is nothing like tetrachromacy in birds. The wavelengths of light we see as red, green and yellow are really quite close together. The ability to differentiate between red and green evolved fairly recently in primates (see my other comment), so the genes are still similar and the proteins they encode detect very similar wavelengths. And because they are still evolving, people have different versions of the genes and detect slightly different wavelengths as red and green. The genes are on the X chromosome so women can get two versions, and if the versions are sufficiently different they can detect extra shades. But because the genes are still very similar even in that case, it's really more accurate to say that they see "extra shades" because it's still a very long way from the tetrachromacy of birds.

This is confusing tho cause idk if I’m missing any colors.
My dad was a house painter for over fifty years. I don't think he can see extra colors, but his eye for tones is amazing. He can look at two shades of off-white that look the same and tell you that one has a little more yellow, for example. I love the weird skills that people develop after years doing a job.
Previous studies have shown that women are much better at picking out slight differences in color than men... and IMHO that's because women have had to pick out lipsticks! Lots of women can look at 500 reddish colors all displayed together, and tell you how they differ. So really, what I mean to say is that I agree with you, I think that kind of color analysis is learned.

I know tetrachromacy exists but the above graphic is, I believe, simplistic and misrepresents what tetrachromacy actually is. This graphic is more of an illustration of how a person who knows the name of a shade sees the spectrum vs. someone who doesn't know the name of a shade. Outside of those who are color blind I'd be willing to bet that all seeing this graphic can see all the colors represented. Tetrachromacy allows a person to see colors outside the normal spectrum and there is no way to represent this because, unless you're tetrachromatic you can't see these colors.
No the graph is unrelated, it belongs with the myth that women have more names for colours and distinguish more (by name). The actual graph is from (the comic) Doghouse Diaries. XKCD did fun non-scientific research on that a few years ago, worth a read and a few laughs, at https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/
Load More Replies... We have three types of proteins for color perception. Each is encoded by a single gene. They are related to each other- i.e. the gene for the color perception protein got duplicated on the DNA, and mutated to detect a different color. A lot of animals (birds, many fish) have true tetrachromacy - they have four proteins which evolved to detect colors that are perfectly spaced out on the range of visible light. Mammals lost some color vision genes and have only two of the proteins (short wavelength blue, long wavelength = red AND green together). Primates can see three colors - the long wavelength gene duplicated, mutated, and so primates can differentiate between green and red. These genes are not done evolving, so people disagree about shades of green, red and yellow because their proteins detect slightly different wavelengths. Women can can get two versions of the genes, and if these versions are different enough, they are technically tetrachromats - but nowhere close to birds!
My second cousin has the exact opposite problem She has a condition called achromatopsia, which means she can only see things as black and white or in shades of grey.
So a form of colorblindness then? Or is it entirely different?

That's me, too. In fact, depending upon its brightness, I can often see an eighth 'colour' in the rainbow at the red end.
I'm in the 12%, it seems to be familial. And it's Sea Foam. Never saw "seam foam" , LOL! They missed true crimson, FYI. it's between maraschino and cayenne. Yes, I know.
It's assumed that s lot of artists and people who work in fashion have this
Most people can see red, blue, and green, but these people can also see ultraviolet.
I have this, it's really cool but like you can see a lot more detail on things you dont want to like raw meat....
I have always wondered about this and have been certain that ppl see colours a bit differently...especially some shade of grey looks green(ish) to some.
My own eyes see colours differently - one has more of a pink tint when I look with just one eye. I noticed it as a child. Just assumed that was fairly normal but no idea really.

You can show people colors that are similar but still different, and test how well they can correctly detect the difference. Also, there's this test where you get a green flashlight and a red flashlight and are asked to replicate a certain shade of yellow by mixing the lights and adjusting the intensity. Science background: We have three receptors for seeing color which are activated when hit with a certain color light (blue, red, or green). They have an "ideal" light wavelength where they are activated the most - but they are also activated by neighboring wavelengths of light, just less so. The mix of how much the detectors are activated is how we see the color range: green = green receptor maxed out, red much less, red = red receptor maxed out, green much less, yellow = both receptors activated about the same. (to be continued)

I don't know if I am or not, I can see a lot of colors but idk
I could see the difference between every single color but am I missing any, hmmmmmmmmm
I have this :D I often take paint back to get it adjusted hahahahaha
All the colors looks different, am I to assume that I have tetrachromacy?
It can also be annoying to see so much since I'm very detailed with my graphic designs and I never realize that all the nuances I use, are ones others don't see at all
Wow! I did not know that this was a thing! I'm an artist, and I've often had discussions with friends about the difference between, (for example) turquoise and teal (or chartreuse and olive drab) with most folks not seeing the difference. Then when I bring out a color wheel or my hundreds of Prismacolor pencils, sometimes I made progress, but not always. Now I get it! Thanks for the explanations below Dynein:)
I didn't realise that was something most people can't do. I thought it was only colour blind individuals who had problems with colour differentiation. I have no problem seeing the many different shades of colour. I do know I can see fine differences in shades.
I have this and didn't realize it. I have a very colorful aesthetic in the way that I dress and decorate. Now it makes me sad that most people don't get to fully enjoy it.
I've found myself arguing about a shade of red during my life. Only recently while looking up color blindness in Wikipedia did I find there are 5 or 6 known forms of color blindness to different frequencies of red. It made me orange just thinking about it. 😁
I have this and was unaware. I've had arguments over deadpan. It's green I say. No it's blue.( mother)
I took the test and got a zero! So when my students says something is blue, and I say it’s more green, or blue-green, I’m right! Ha! lol
I have this. It is one of the reasons that I became a graphic designer.
That nonsense graph (stolen & redrawn from a comic, with added typos like 'seam foam') spreading the facebook-quality myth that women name and distinguish more colours than men annoys me so very very much.
When I joined The U.S.Marine Corps (1956),I was surprised how many people could not see the "required" 18 colors to advance to Aircraft Mechanics School and then it required 6 more colors to go to Aircraft Electrician/Avionics School..I could see all 29 colors.
My husband and I disagree about colors. Now I know why. Where to I get evaluated for tetrachromacy?
i usually ace the tests where you put the colors in order based on hue, so i wonder if i have this
For everyone using the picture as a test (idk this for sure so I may be wrong) but I don't think it's accurate because I heard somewhere you have to get an in-person test for tetrachromacy because (most) screens don't actually have the ability to show the colors that tetrachromats are able to see
Then again I can't even see the picture I'm just going off the comments so

So if you can see the difference, you have it? Well, guess I do. Hmmm.
Do the colours represent the range of someone with tetrachromacy or without it?
I can see all the colors and differences in this pic, so does that mean I have tetrachromacy?
i see every shade on this list infact i can tell the difference between every shade in that 200 color crayon box and so can everyone i kno so i dont think this is correct
Wish I had this, I've had it with the aid of certain psychedelic substances but of course it doesn't stay around long.
Had a conversation with a friend last week about colors. "It's blue." - "no, it's green. And this is green too but slightlier blueish." - no, it's..." - "And that's blue." - "but... it's the same colors." - "no." - "oh f*ck you"
My favorite colors are salmon pink and forest green and plum 😮

Would have been nice with an image that actually showed such minimally different shades that only tetrachromatic people could tell them apart...
Not all but it is more common among women than men. Women are less likely to be colourblind too, but it still happens.

I have read that women can usually see more colours than men, and more men are colourblind that women, because hunting carnivores usually see in black & white, while herbivores see more colors. Men were traditionally hunters, while women were gatherers and needed to distinguish subtle colors of vegetation. We have 2 mushrooms in our yard, one is red-orange and edible, the other is slightly redder and poisonous, so that is a big difference!
That is... incorrect. Entirely. Most mammals see only 2 colors - both herbivores and carnivores. Most birds see 4 colors - again, both herbivores and carnivores. The ancestors of mammals likely could see at least 3 colors. The theory is that during the time of the dinosaurs most of them were nocturnal and/or burrowing and lost some color perception during that period. Primates are the only mammals that can see 3 colors - and at least in this case, the reason is likely that it was a huge advantage for a species eating a lot of fruit. But it takes ages for this new color vision to truly settle (we are still not done!), so diets can change several times before that. Also, the labor division between men and women that long ago can't actually be proven. Quite likely everyone was mostly gathering and hunting was less frequent. The genes for seeing red and green are on the X chromosome, so women have a spare if one is broken and men don't. THAT is the reason women have better color vision.

With 1.4 million followers and 38.5 million likes on TikTok, Knowledgesaurus is the internet’s beloved creator sharing everything interesting—facts, smart observations, and common myths—in lighthearted and fun videos. Bored Panda reached out to Knowledgesaurus to find out more about his personality and how his love for fun facts and dinosaurs won the hearts of the internet.
2% of people naturally have red hair. In order to have a child with this hair color, both parents need to possess the gene, and while redheads make up a tiny part of the population, one study found that 30% of ads have people with red hair in them.
My maternal grandma and grandpa were redheads, my mom and sister are redheads, my husband's dad had read hair, my son is a red head. Out of 23 niblings in both families, my son is the only redhead
Less than 1% of people can hear colors or see sounds (synesthesia).
9% of people can taste the soap taste in cilantro. Cilantro contains the chemical that is also a byproduct of soapmaking.
“I’m 25 years old and have been an entrepreneur since the age of 19. I found success with that early on and ended up dropping out of college. I made good money, but wasn’t happy.” At that point, the TikTok creator took a risk and decided to “stop all that and start something more fun that I’m interested in and that’s how Knowledgesaurus started. I started this account 1/1/2021 with the goal of growing it and making it my full-time job and within 110 days, I was able to reach 1 million followers, which I’m so thankful for!”
5% of people have amber eyes - golden or coppery with flakes of gold, green or brown. Amber eyes are very common in dogs, bird and fish.
Less than 1% of people have this small little hole right on their ear. Some evolutionary biologists claim this used to be a gill on humans.
24% of people can raise one eyebrow, however you can learn to do this as well.
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.”
10% of people have something called Morton's toe. It's when your big toe is shorter than the one next to it. The Statue of Liberty actually has a Morton's toe as well.
Only 33% of people can whistle. Almost everyone has the ability to whistle, it just takes the right techniques.
Well, if you can't whistle it's because you didn't eat the crusts of your bread. Or so my mother claimed.
Only 1% of people are ambidextrous - they have no preference for the use of right or left hand.
1% of people need less sleep than the rest of us. These people have Sleeper Syndrome which allows them to go through a sleep cycle faster than an average person.
35% of people have no wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth used to serve a purpose but now they no longer do, which is why we take them out so they don't get infected while they're pushing through your gums. If you don't have wisdom teeth, I'm jealous of you.
35%?? Everyone I know has or had wisdom teeth. Does this occur in certain populations?
83.7% of people can roll their tongue, but only 14.7% of people can make a clover out of their tongue.
4% of people have Raynaud's syndrome. This is when a part of your body, usually your fingers or toes, starts to turn white when exposed to low temperatures. It's your body's overreaction to cold or distress.
I have this! It's incredibly painful & feels like the worst kind of pins & needles imaginable.
Only 10% of people have Darwin's tubercle - the little bump on the outside of your ear. It's believed that people who have this are better at sensing voice tonality.
Less than 1% of people in the US have AB-Negative blood. There's also something called Golden blood, which only about 40 people in the world have, and it's completely different than any other blood.
16% of people can make a roaring noise in their head using their jaw. They're able to do this because they can control a small muscle in their jaw that deafens chewing, but when it is flexed it makes a roaring noise.
I can do this too, but I thought this was something everyone experiences
Less than 1% of people have unbreakable bones. This is caused by a mutation in one of the genes that causes the bones to be up to 8 times denser.
35% of people can gleek. Only 1% of people can do it on command. Gleeking is when you're spitting saliva from under your tongue and it squirts out.
Less than 1% of people are born with a white patch of hair. It is called poliosis, which is caused by the lack of pigment called melanin in the hair follicles.
Two of my maid’s children have this. Brown and white hair. I love their hair.
Only 5% of people have arched fingerprints. Most people have looped and whorled fingerprints.
Less than 1% of people have their heart on the right side of their body. Surprisingly, this doesn't normally come with any negative consequences.
Only 25% of people have dimples. You can have either two, or just one. Dimples are also hereditary, so if either of your parents has a dimple, it's more likely you'll have one as well.
20% of people have a gap between their two front teeth. What normally causes this is a discrepancy between the jaw size and the teeth. A lot of celebrities have this and don't correct it because they think it makes them unique.
Some people believe this is an indication that you will become rich. I have yet to see anyone who has.
Only 2% of people naturally have blonde hair. If you narrow it down just to white people in the United States, that percentage goes up to 5%.
I think it depends on what you classify as blonde. Is it truly white hair or just lighter (like dark blonde)?
Only 10% of people have birthmarks. They're usually oval in shape and come in a coffee type color.
I used to have a big oval birthmark, on my lower back. But it faded as I got older and eventually disappeared altogether.
70% of people bend their head to the right when kissing. Your brain is the cause for this. The left side of our face shows more emotion so we want to give our partner the more emotive side and we tilt our head to the right.
1% of people have a double row of eyelashes. While this might look like something a lot of you are jealous of, it actually can cause a lot of problems.
Less than 1% of people have pointy or elf-like ears. It's an abnormality called Stahl's ear, it's usually corrected early in life.
Why does it need correcting? Isn't it just a cosmetic difference? Shouldn't it be up to the child to keep it or change it once they're old enough to make the decision, as long as it isn't impacting their hearing?
Only 35% of people have 20/20 vision. 2/3 people cannot see perfectly.
25% of people have perfect teeth and never need braces or any orthodontics. 45% of children need braces, but 75% need orthodontic care.
Need or want? My teeth aren't perfect and if I was an actor or something, I would've 'needed' braces, but health-wise I don't. So do they mean 75% will have health problems if they don't get work done, or just that it looks ugly?
14% of people don't have this muscle - Palmaris Longus. This muscle was developed when our ancestors were big tree climbers. If you want to see if you still have it, pull back your palm on a flat surface, touch your pinky and thumb together and slightly lift them and you should see that ligament pop out.
6% of people can vibrate and rapidly shake their eyeballs back and forth.
10% of people can touch their nose with their tongues. In medicine, this is called the Gorlin sign.
20% of people are double jointed. This is thought to be genetic and due to a variation in collagen in your connective tissues.
4% of people are colorblind. Color blindness occurs in 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Less than 1% of people can give themselves goosebumps on command. The majority of people get them when they're cold or listening to music, but some can give themselves goosebumps whenever they want to.
yup i just have to imgine biting into a popsicle. lol i liteally got goosebumps writing this.
Only 12% of people dream in black and white.
Only 1% of the population can lick their elbow. The people that can do this usually have either a long tongue or a short forearm, or both.
Hmmmm...I wonder...:: unsuccessfully trying to lick my elbow...Wife walks in and witnesses me trying::: Wife- What the ever lovin h3ll are you doing? Me as embarrassment and awkwardness set in:: Ummm... nothing hon...nothin at all...
10% of people are left handed. Left handed people tend to live shorter lives.
8.4% of people have a counterclockwise hair whorl on their head, while the majority has a clockwise one.
8% of people still have chimp-like feet, that are specifically adapted to climbing trees. This is characterized by a mid-foot arch. If you want to check if you have this, see if you can bend the ball of your foot as well as the region half-way between your heel and the ball of your foot.
I had a hard time understanding this, because that picture is not showing the mentioned bend at all. This is what it looks like: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRv7izzuQZ8x4BdXJ5PzLGWd-Ogt4KLZ4xgMQ&usqp=CAU
Only 4% of people have an outie belly button. Believe it or not, doctors can't choose if you'll have an innie or an outie belly button, things like the belly button itself and the fat beneath it determine what it will look like.
Less than 1% of people have an extra rib. Most people are born with 24, but some have 25 ribs. The 25th is called a cervical rib.
25% of people have a Hitchhiker's thumb - when the upper part of the thumb can bend 90 degrees backwards. It's caused by a certain gene.
About 20% of people have a pupil that is bigger than the other. This is called anisocoria, it can be a very small, or a very big difference.
Note: this post originally had 60 images. It’s been shortened to the top 50 images based on user votes.
Fascinating post. Luckily I read it early in the morning so no one saw me trying to lick my elbow, wiggle my ears, flare my nostrils, etc.
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 grey eyes and reddish hair. I hardly see anyone else with grey eyes.

This was so cool! Today I learned that I have twelve of these, including a few that only one percent have.
I found out recently that my blue/gold center heterochromia (blue eyes with a gold ring) is exceedingly rare. My family and I always called my eye colour “Blue Hazel.”
Does anyone know anything about sharper canine teeth? Mine are much pointier than anyone in my family.
I don't know if it means anything. My dad had them too. When he was little my nephew wondered if I was a vampire. Never thought, I could have dressed up as a vampire on Halloween and not needed the fake teeth.

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.
So, who else scored themselves? 11 out of 50 weird things. unfortunately, mostly useless ones. lucky in some areas like colour acuity and 20/20 vision[failing with age though].
As a people of 1, I was included in 0% of the questions, some of which I would not have answered
I have an extra muscle in my elbow called anconeus epitrochlearis. It causes pressure on my ulnar nerve sending some of my fingers numb sometimes and cause me to have a weak grip and I only have it on my left elbow.
10% of the population has 6 lumbar vertebrae. I am one if them and only found out when I needed a spinal fusion.

Cool! Like an activity to find out if you're special! And have hidden talents
What fun! I'm blonde (but boring old green eyes), can flare my nose, taste the soap in cilantro, have arch fingerprints, raise both eyebrows individually, have shorter big toe, sunlight makes me sneeze, have Reynaud's, only need 4 hours sleep, have hitchhiker's thumb (though never used it!), have Darwin's tubercle, can wiggle both ears, have palmaris longus, and perfect pitch.
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"!

I don't judge, but your making it f*****g harder that it should be!!!!

I used to be able to peel a banana with my toes. A broken foot put an end to that charming party trick..

Wow I'm even more of an odd-duck than I thought. I can do/have a lot of these. And some not on the list, like central heterochromia, around my pupil is an amber(ish) brown, and around that is green.
Went back and counted off on my fingers, 11. And might even be 12,can't see my fingers in the darkness of my room.

I can wiggle my ears on command, and so can my Dad. I've never met anyone else that could. I'm curious what % of the population can do that... I also have red hair, blue eyes, and a bunch of the other "rare" traits listed here, so let's just go ahead and call me a freak of nature lmao
Cool! Like an activity to find out if you're special! And have hidden talents
What fun! I'm blonde (but boring old green eyes), can flare my nose, taste the soap in cilantro, have arch fingerprints, raise both eyebrows individually, have shorter big toe, sunlight makes me sneeze, have Reynaud's, only need 4 hours sleep, have hitchhiker's thumb (though never used it!), have Darwin's tubercle, can wiggle both ears, have palmaris longus, and perfect pitch.
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"!
