title: The two-toed Wadoma--familial ectrodactyly in Zimbabwe.
abstract: Ectrodactyly has been referred to as being present among the Wadoma people of Zimbabwe for many years and has given rise in popular imagination to the legend of 'the two-toed people'. An investigation into this situation is reported in which three members of one Wadoma family are described. Reference is made to reports of a similar condition occurring in a group of people who may be ethnically related to the Wadoma living on either side of the Botswana/Zimbabwe border, who have not, as far as is known, been scientifically assessed.
