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.

Mum has light brown hair and fair skin. In contrast, dad has olive skin and jet-black hair. I'm a redhead! WTF! Dad grew a mustache after I was born to disperse the indiscreet remarks. It's red! He's beyond funny. Black hair and ginger whiskers. That's my dad.

Still on redheads, they carry a mutated version of the MC1R gene, which in addition to giving their hair its unique colour, also means they process pain differently and require higher doses of inhalational anaesthesia than non-redheads.

I had red (auburn) hair for one year (10th grade). The next year, it turned back to light brown but with a very noticeable blond streak that people thought I paid for. Before that, at any time, if you looked at individual strands of hair, you would see: red, blond, dark brown, light brown strands. Then after I got the blond streak (which went away), my hair was uniformly light brown. Very weird.

I was born a "toe-head" as they used to say, white-blonde hair, just like my parents, brothers, and most of my relatives. As I aged it turned "dirty blonde" then med brown. JUST LIKE almost everyone else in my family on both sides. I had to go through some chemo in my late 30s and I was without a spec of hair on my entire body for 6 months. My hair started growing again and it came back kinky (I had bone straight hair) and FLAME ORANGE! It toned down to a darker red over the course of 2 months then slowly replaced itself with light brown hair again. I asked my Mom if anyone in our family, both sides, ever had naturally red hair. "Just one, your great Grandmother, but we don't have color photos of her of course, but she had bright red hair like that her entire life until it turned white". I kind of miss that color, but not the corkscrew little ringlets that first appeared. Was it the chemicals used in my chemo cocktails or latent genes?

I have 2 cousins who are natural redheads. Their mother has black hair and their father has sandy brown hair. The red hair comes from my uncle's great aunt. My mother, This aunt's sister said she nearly had a heart attack when she had the first cousin and he came out with a thick mop of red hair. My other red headed cousin has 2 children. Both are redheads.

I had Ronald Mcdonald red for the first 2yrs of my life then it grew out to be a darker red / auburn & now at 37 I dye my hair to be a brighter shade of red

Red heads unite! I have auburn hair, and it's more brown than red...though I like to enhance it. My dad had the same color and I love how it has lightened over the years. Instead of going grey, he went from auburn to strawberry blonde to white.

Funnily enough, in the last... let's say 5-8 years, I've seen an increase in red-headed children where I work. It's a family-park, so I really get to see a lot of children. Interestingly, it's very often a darker, more brownish red, tending towards dark copper. Beautiful color. I've always wanted to have read hair, but it seems I'm just a boring-old blonde. My nephew might be a tad reddish, though - too early to say.

That's incorect. All of us have the same genes, what you have to say is that both parents need to possess the variant (allele) for red hair. That could be possible if both parents are red-haired or if they are carriers of the genetic variant but have a different hair color

I guess the majority of red-haired people are caucasian, esp. north-western European. Since the western world is big on capitalism, "thanks" to the US, and thus on advertising and has a higher percentage of red-haired, I'm not surprised the number of red-haired ad actors is much higher compared to the global population. Though 30% is still surprisingly high.

In my family they believe that there is a red hair curse. The first born child of anyone in my family is always a redhead (this has always been the case and records support it). If you have a second child that is also a redhead, your first born will die before reaching adulthood. My big brother was a redhead and he was follow by my sister, another redhead. 18 months after she was born my brother fell ill and was diagnosed with a tumour on the brain he died at 5 years old. This has also happened to 2 aunties and several cousins. The family are hoping my other sister may have broken the curse because she's just had her second child, both are mixed race so neither have red hair.

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.”

I think it depends on what you classify as blonde. Is it truly white hair or just lighter (like dark blonde)?

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?

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?

I wish they'd stop calling it double jointed. There are no double joints. Like it says, it's just a variation in connective tissue and joint flexibility.
