PARIS (11-06) - A man's penis can be related to the size of his hands and feet. At least, that's the theory of some scientists at the University of Geneva, who have been doing studies on the Hox family of genes. These genes have been found to control the development of digits as well as external genitalia. The scientists tested their theory by removing the gene in question from laboratory mice, and found their offspring were born without either digits or genitals. They are using this data to show that a man's penis can actually be genetically linked to size of a man's fingers and toes.
"Digits and an ancestral genital organ could have emerged from the same genetic regulatory innovation," research documents stated. "It also suggests that those rude jokes about the predictive value of shoe sizes could have some basis in fact."
Isn't this interesting?? See -i always joked about this theory -but i thought it was cool to see that if you take away the genes for a mouse's digits then it doesn't develop any genital organs....they should try that on humans!!
