Talk:Hallux

message: Technically, Big toe should redirect to hallux and not vice-versa, since hallux is the biological term for any big toe (digit I).
This might be the artist in me talking, but I think there could be a lot more discussion of its place in other creatures. Theropod dinosaurs with their just below the ankle hallux, american Godzilla with his as the fourth toe, bizarrely... Hallux on cats.. etc.
:But it's not the common term, and wikipedia naming guidelines are pretty clear that's the appropriate criteria.  Alai 07:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I changed the sentence about fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, as it seemed to imply that having the disease causes a person to have short big toes — my big toe is shorter than the rest, and I'm pretty sure I don't have it... —  riana_dzasta • t • c   • 13:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says "In humans and non-human primates, the hallux is shorter than the second or pointer toe for a majority of people;"
Is this true? Where does it come from? I thought it was the opposite, at least in Spain. Most of us have the hallux equal or bigger to the next toe. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton%27s_toe   it says that only 10% of population has longer second toe.
Mine's over two centimetres longer!

message: "The Hallux or Big Toe often serves as the little piggy who went to the market. (This has fueled speculation that the roast beef consumed by the third piggy was actually purchased by the first)"

message: "This is an inherited trait in humans, where the dominant gene causes a longer second toe ("Morton's toe") while the homozygous recessive genotype presents with the more common trait: a longer hallux.[1]"
Since when is a homozygous recessive allele?  That makes no sense.  I assume the writer got it backwards.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.229.59 (talk) 02:00, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
