This is an interesting article for those who are keen to keep an eye on the creation of life in the womb, but also across eons. It covers the formation of muscles in the hands, fingers and thumbs some of which is lost as the embryo develops and which are a legacy of our reptilian past. This is really fascinating stuff that is adding to the body of knowledge around evolution.
