.........Sorry C-Guy, didn't mean to upset you at all...in fact all my queries and responses are very tongue in cheek[], perhaps so that I could have understood your response easier (you have to drop down to my level of thinking you see)you could have said  'which was needed when we were being chased by lions' instead of 'which is needed when you're being chased by a lion'....sorry again....forgive  me ?

Fine, we need our toes []gonna grab my toes and stick em all back on[](for the record. I never really doubted the importance of toes, I love my toes, they make my feet all nice and happy[]).......but the gist of my posting was really that from a historical/evolutionary point of view do we think that in the past , there is a possibility that our toes were more flexible in use, than they are today......Now where did I put my toes ?...hang on!!!...whys my cat looking all full up......[?][]

There is a purpose for the small toe.  Finding chairs in the dark.
