This is a new one to me. I've never heard of humans having tails! Or didn't, til I came to this thread. They look bizzare though. In my opinion, it just doesn't look right for humans to have tails.
It's ok for animals to have tails as that's a natural thing, but human wise, it looks strange. It's still interesting though and with the additional thought that there's still biological information we've yet to find out. The images were shocking, almost like frightful to look at a bit like spiders. I'm sure we'll eventually find out how these are created or what they're used for. Thanks for sharing the information, I'll have to regularly check back to this thread to see what the other user's views on this tail thread are. QUOTE(Cerebral Stasis @ Jan 10 2006, 10:54 AM) According to this article, some 12 million people worldwide actually have tails. These tails (see images below) are long, hairless extensions of the spine that don't seem to serve any apparent purpose, as far as has yet been discovered. Whether it's a birth defect, a mutation by chance, a hidden gene, or some remnant of an evolutionary process is not yet known. Christians have claimed that this appendage is actually a sign of the Devil and shows that all people will this mark will be damned forever and have tainted souls. Most people with tails are embarassed by them, and many religious people think that the "tails" should be removed, else one continues to sport the mark of the beast.
Well, since we evolved from a species related from the monkeys it seems logical that some gene that had already been blocked because of the evolution could have unlocked somehow or something. I consider myself a "believer" but not a religious person, therefore I disagree with this being a mark or the beast or having any relation with it, just as many other things I disagree with religion that make me not want to be part of it. By no means I have just meant to offend anybody.
We are meant to keep on evolving anyway, though I dont think this is exactly an evolution. There are others like the indigo and probably a whole lot more to come. I think it must hurt when you sleep on your back or sitting down on a hard surface. It reminds me of dragon ball anime though.
That is really interesting. I also haven't heard of that before. I guess that goes to show you that we are really more like monkeys than we thought we were. I think that the tail being a sign of the beast also is a pretty wierd inference. I am gonna go with the theory of the hidden gene.
Hmmm... that's like that episode of the X-Files, where that one guy had a tail. I forget what the episode was even about now, but the image of the guy with a tail stayed in my mind.
But 12 million? I never knew the number would be that big, but it's pretty cool though. I'm not so sure about the whole evolution idea, but neat enough on it's own. As for it hurting to sleep on or sit down, I can't see that being the case, because I know other animals have tails, and they don't seem to be hurt by them. And my dog certainly lays on her tail and she doesn't mind 
those pictures are kinda distrubing....
..i personally think it has to do with evoloution also.... i mean we all have tail-bones...right...so mabye in some cases..theirs is bigger..in otherwords..actually comes out as a tail... just like some peoples hands are bigger than others.. anyway thats what i think on it. i dont know about it being a mark of the devil tho , but if it is anything like against christianity..then it just must be somthing exxagerated..after all it could just be a birth defect and its god that supposably...creates life.. in a way i would say its contradicting itself.. Nice find man it was intresting 
Probably anything is possible to grow on the human body. I've seen pictures of someone with an extra finger, 2 noses and 2 belly buttons. Anyways, 12 million people? I wonder how many people have a "tail" in Australia..

This is Joke was published on Feb 2002 i.e four years ago. 2. Even Darwinisms have been never mentioned it and they still looking for the missing Link !!!!!! 3. The article didn't say how they counted the 12 millions. Is this number at the moment or accumulation of the 7000 years of civilization. 4. Then why Dr x is " so embarrassed by the two-foot tail that juts out from his own behind.". Who could easily did operation to get rid of them as the operation of circumstance or separation of twins or extra defected part . 5. The article mentioned that: "No one wants to come out and admit that tails are as common as they are," says Dr. X." Then from where he find the 12 millions" 6. Being with tail or not, what this deal with Christianity? 7. How we verify his findings if he hide himself under Dr"X". 8. Saying that QUOTE News of Dr. X's findings has rocked both the biological as well as religious worlds where any evolutionary link between mankind and monkeys is disputed .Nothing rocked us and most of us heard about this joke from this posting after 4 years from publishing in a newspaper. 9. Of course there are some have tail as any defect [similar to who have 2 hearts, who have six fingers, who don't have eyes...] 10. This remind us with the faked Haeckel's drawing on which Darwin used in his book "The Origin of Species". Ernst Haeckel, a German biologist, had supposedly shown that embryos from various animals were identical to each other in their earliest stages. Darwin had written that " QUOTE it is probable, from what we know of the embryos of mammals, birds, fishes and reptiles, that these animals are the modified descendants of some ancient progenitor" (The Origin of Species, p. 224) . But the drawings has been faked to Support Evolution. Haeckel's drawings of several different embryos, showing incredible similarity at their early ‘tailbud’ stage. But another evolutionist, British embryologist Michael Richardson, gave photographs of how the embryos of these same animals really look at the same stage[Springer-Verlag GmbH & Co., Tiergartenstrasse, 69121 Heidelberg, Germany] . Richardson confirmed that in a letter to Science: QUOTE The core scientific issue remains unchanged: Haeckel's drawings of 1874 are substantially fabricated. In support of this view, I note that his oldest ‘fish’ image is made up of bits and pieces from different animals—some of them mythical. It is not unreasonable to characterize this as ‘faking.’ ... Sadly, it is the discredited 1874 drawings that are used in so many British and American biology textbooks today.’[ M.K. Richardson, Haeckel's Embryos, Continued, letter to Science 281(5381):1289, 28 August 1998. ] 11.However, in 1997, Mike Richardson with an international team of experts, comparing Haeckel's drawings with actual embryos ,including actual photographs of a large number of different embryos, showed that embryos of different kinds are very distinct . [.K. Richardson et al., There Is No Highly Conserved Embryonic Stage in the Vertebrates: Implications for Current Theories of Evolution and Development, Anatomy and Embryology 196(2):91–106, 1997. ] They concluded that Haeckel's work "looks like it's turning out to be one of the most famous fakes in biology" (Elizabeth Pennisi, "Haeckel's Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered," Science 277, 1997, p. 1435). This study was widely publicized in science journals and other media. 12.Today, many, biologists recognize that Haeckel faked his drawings to support his theory that embryos in essence reenact their species' evolutionary history as they develop. Biologist Jonathan Wells writes that: QUOTE Haeckel's illustrations "show vertebrate embryos that look very much alike at their earliest stage . . . In fact, the embryos look too much alike . . . He [Haeckel] was more than once, often justifiably, accused of scientific falsification . . . In some cases, Haeckel used the same woodcut to print embryos that were supposedly from different classes. In others, he doctored his drawings to make the embryos appear more alike than they really were . . . Haeckel's contemporaries repeatedly criticized him for these misrepresentations, and charges of fraud abounded in his lifetime" (as quoted by Jonathan Wells, Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth?, 2000, pp. 90-91, emphasis in original). 13. Here we find a classic example of how the prejudices of those examining scientific evidence affect their conclusions. Haeckel, as many other evolutionists over the years, saw only the evidence he wanted to see and apparently believed that the ends (what he believed was the truth of evolution) justified the means (erroneous and even fraudulent supposed proofs of the theory). 14. In spite of repeated discrediting, however, Haeckel's ideas and drawings still appear in many recent textbooks and are presented as fact. A book published in 1998 , Teaching about Evolution has no excuse for being unaware that the idea of extensive embryonic similarities is outdated and based on fraud.
You may be correct concerning that Weekly World News article (their articles have been known to be less-than-accurate), but these "tails", whether they are as common (12 million in the world) as WWN claims or not, they DO exist. The images posted earlier very well could be faked. However, the articles posted at the bottom of my original post are quite credible, and they all agree that this is a real phenomenon. Although it may not be as pronounced as suggested by the (possibly false) articles posted earlier, humans have been born with tails in the past, although it is pretty rare.
I appologize for misleading people due to my being fooled by the article/images. It is certainly a very elaborate hoax. *edit inserted here* By the way, according to this article, there have been only 23 true "tails" reported since 1884. It certainly does sound like a more reasonable number than 12 million. Latest Entries
Tails are pretty cool. but, how would you put pants on? And, Plus, your friends ( if you had any ) would say " What is THAT?! "
 Because you might have been hiding it . But a doctor would cut it off at birth wouldn't they? Oh well. Great pictures A little weird, but cool too! 
I myself have a tail, and find it disgusting that people can point fingers at us and say that we're mutants or something. I find it rather hard living life with a tail but I persist to continue living life normally. If you saw me on the street you would never be able to tell. As for the question "Lol do they wag their tails when they are happy? " no we don't. The tail is simply a genetic disorder where the extension of the spinal cord has not dropped off once the embryo has developed past 5 weeks.

Human REPTILIAN Tails
What Is The Human Tail? (graphical Content) The tails that some humans are born with are the Reptilian genetics that we have as our baseline structure. To prove this, this genetic sequence can be witnessed when observing the fetus in a womb, first the fetus takes on a Reptilian-form, then the Mammalian genetics are added to that and the fetus takes human-form. Humans did not evolve from anything. The original home to humans is in the Lyrae star system. Humans have Lyraen Genetics. Somewhere around 200,000 years ago the Reptilian beings who lived on Lemuria on Earth tried to make peace with the Human Lyraen Enemy continent Atlantis, which I am sure you all heard of. They combined both genetics and made what we are today as a symbolic right to ensure a peaceful co-habitation of this planet. Reptilians would only agree to it if the baseline genetic structure was Reptilian and Mammalian added to that, not the other way around. However, this mediation attempt did not work and the Human Atlanteans sunk Lemuria using electromagnetic pulse equipment powered by artificially manufactured giant crystals to break up the earth's crust at the center of Lemuria sinking the continent. The surviving Reptilians went UNDERGROUND into the Inner Earth into a vast underground cave system where they still exist today and this is where the legends of Demons in hell under the earth come from. There is a Sun inside of the earth it is a natural occurrence that happens when a planet is formed by a star ejecting lava-like material and then during the spinning and cooling process. Lava gets entrapped in the center of the hollow planet and levitates in the center. The Aurora Borealis is not radiation from our Sun in space, but rather the light from the Inner Sun of our planet coming out through the North Pole opening. Any questions? -reply by Edward
Hey I found this interesting, On Ripley's Believe It Or Not. A Baby Is worshiped by thousands of people becuase he has a tail. That it one lucky Baby!
QUOTE(ComeToLife @ Jan 10 2006, 01:58 PM) lol...I dunno about which Christians believe this is the mark of the beast. Biblically I know that the mark of the beast isn't gonna be something we're born with or have no control over. So coming from the Bible, and as a Christian Minister, I think the "Christians" who believe it's the mark of the beast aren't quite accurate. My best guess would be a birth defect/gene thing. There are some pretty interesting...occurrences that happen as a result of the wrong genes being dominant in a body. As a Christian I have my beliefs on why things like this happen specifically, being that as sin entered the world through man, so did mishaps and chance and "negative" occurrences. Disease wasn't here until man sinned, because the world was without fault. I believe that same general principle applies to all aspects of life where fault may be found. I am a Christian, and we do not believe genetic abnormalities are a wark of the Beast. It's just the way God made them and it's there for a reason (Or he wouldn't have put it there). We are all beautiful, weather we are quote unquote "normal."
