Evolutions next step?


I saw on CNN the other day that their was this child born with 12 fingers, that would be 6 per hand. As weird as that may be, its not completely unheard of. The night my kids were born there was a child born in the room next to us with 11 fingers.

Evolution, at least the way I view it, is adaption to changes in climate, food, environment and even the way you complete daily tasks. We as a society have become very dependant on the "keyboard" and spend more time communicating electronically, texting and such. Maybe additional fingers are the next major step in helping humans adapt to a changing world? Could this be the next step in the evolution of humans?

Then again, I heard extra digits could be a result of inbreeding...hmmmm
