A Brazilian family with a rare genetic disorder giving six fingers on each hand has become a symbol of their nation’s hopes to bring home Brazil’s sixth world cup title.
The Brazilian Da Silva family has a genetic peculiarity: All its members have six fingers on each hand. According to them, it is not a handicap, but rather seen as an advantage to, among others, grab objects or play the guitar.
Moreover, in this period of the World Cup, the Da Silvas also realized that they would be able to show, on one single hand, the number of times the Brazilian team was titrated if it were to win the competition.
