    I recently noticed that I do not only have hitchhikers thumb, but also hitchhiker big toe! My big toes have grown exactly like my thumbs, with the tip pointing upwards. It does hurt in my shoes sometimes

      I have related it to my Cherokee and etc Native American linages. I have seen it in other Cherokees and a few other Native American lines, one was in the Sioux and part of family of Native Americans who were indigenous to CA.  

      I have not see any others pick up on this, the only noted Native American finger thing is twisted small or and pointer finger, the one next to the thumb.
