Why Do We Even Have Toes?
5th April 2016
Dan Nosowitz is not afraid to ask the hard questions.
Not long ago, after I accidentally kicked the radiator next to my bed and brutally stubbed my toe, I looked down. I saw ridiculous mutant-finger-like protuberances coming out of my foot, part of them covered with useless nails that seem to need clipping much more often as I get older. “What is the point of these garbage toes?,” I wondered. They’re lousy at grabbing things, they break easily, and they look, in a pure aesthetic sense, weird.

Try walking without toes.
