Humans did not evolve to have webbed feet as a common trait; however, some individuals can be born with a condition known as syndactyly, where two or more toes or fingers are fused together. This condition is rare and is not indicative of a widespread evolutionary characteristic. The structure of human feet has adapted primarily for bipedal locomotion rather than for swimming, which is why webbed feet are not a common trait among humans. Evolutionarily, our ancestors did not require webbed feet for survival, as they were primarily land-dwelling.
