Nature is an author with an incredibly good imagination. Besides amazing animals and plants, it hasn’t forgotten about humans and gives them really unique body features. For example, the Bajau people who live in the waters around the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia have evolved spleens that are way larger than average. Thanks to this rare mutation, they can stay underwater for up to 13 minutes!

Another mutation allows people to get away with just a few hours of sleep a night and still feel great! Such short-sleepers don't feel tired, and they never sleep in. Only up to 5% of people have this feature. One in every 500 people has an extra rib called cervical. The average human has two dozens ribs, 12 on each side of the body. But those "lucky" ones can have 25 or even 26. Interested? These facts prove that nature is one of the best creators, that definitely thinks outside the box.
