People with the most shocking physical anomalies (Photos and Videos). People who mutilate their bodies for the sake of religion People mutilate their appearance

The King's Pets

Siamese twins are born not so rarely. Nowadays the most simple cases accretion of single-uterine babies is safely cured by surgeons. But earlier such twins were doomed to a lifelong existence in fused bodies.

The most amazing of these creatures were the French nobles Lazar and John Baptiste Colloredo, born in 1617. They grew together in the womb in a completely monstrous way - it was as if the second grew out of the belly of one, and facing the brother. The brothers had common digestive organs, and each breathed with his own lungs.

Interestingly, the second brother, who grew out of the stomach, aged much faster, and he looked many years older. He did not eat, did not drink, could not talk, but at the same time he sighed and made various sounds.

The family and relatives were much upset by the ugliness of the brothers, but it was thanks to him that they made their "career". King Louis XIII heard about them, and so the twins ended up at court. They say that the eldest of the brothers got brains for two, and he could always make the king laugh, as a result of which he became his favorite...

In the 18th century, two horned people Francois Trouille and Madame de Manche were born at once. The first one had a horn length of 30 cm, while the second one had a horn that grew all his life and at the age of 78 it was 46 cm long. The Church considered them children of the devil...

One of the most unusual deformities was possessed by a woman born in early XIX century in Iceland - instead of a nose, she had a boar snout. Today in Portugal there is a donkey woman - her mouth is right under her nose, which gives her face a resemblance to a donkey ..

Foma Ignatiev lived in Russia at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries. He had an amazing physical handicap. His hands, feet, and fingers were twice as long as ordinary people. In addition, his fingers were fused in two or three, as a result of which the limbs resembled cancer claws. Cancer man once successfully met with Peter I, who identified him as a living exhibit in the Kunstkamera, ordering him to give him a considerable salary - one hundred rubles a year, where he served until his death ... It is interesting that in Africa today there is a whole a tribe of cancer people, with fused fingers and toes.

Two-faced Janus

In 1790, a boy with two heads was born in India. Parents immediately began to show it on the market for money. In the same market, he died at the age of two from the bite of a cobra that had escaped from a snake charmer.

The Mexican Pascual Pinon also had two heads. He had one normal head, on the top of which was another one - small and wrinkled. The second head could not speak, but could blink and move its lips. Interestingly, Pinon was extremely proud of his ugliness, did not hide it, but rather emphasized it in every possible way. So, all his cylinders had a window for a small head.

"Two-faced Janus" was born in the XIX century. The young man had two faces - one normal, the other on the back of his head. Like the mythical Janus, faces could live their own lives - when one laughed, the other was sad. Sooner or later, the owner could not stand this split and shot himself ...

Polyglot wolf

It is interesting that most people with certain birth defects and deformities were born in the second half of the 19th century. Mystics claim that this time was marked by an evil sign - in the same period people were born who turned out to be the terrible fate of the 20th century - Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao Zedong, Rasputin ...

And it is in late XIX At the beginning of the 20th century, many freak shows and traveling freak shows appeared all over the world. The wolf man, all overgrown with wool, was very popular in these shows. He was born in 1870, the same year as Lenin.

boy with early childhood drove around different countries exposing to the amusement of the public. When he became a teenager, his owners suddenly discovered that their pet, whom they did not consider human, perfectly speaks the languages ​​of those countries where he managed to visit. The boy turned out to have incredible linguistic abilities - he mastered eighteen languages. The wolf-man became seriously interested in philology, printed a series of scientific works, but at the age of 33 he died of pneumonia ...

No arms, no legs

At the end of the 19th century, a girl without arms and legs was born into a wealthy aristocratic family. Parents hurried to get rid of the freak child and gave it to a shelter for cripples. The girl at the orphanage was named Violetta. Surprisingly, the child not only did not die, but also managed to adapt to life. Violetta learned to draw with her teeth and even became quite a famous artist...

In 1911, John Eckhart was born in the United States - the boy had no legs and lower body. But nature rewarded him with indefatigable energy.

As a child, he began acting in films, then became an eccentric circus acrobat - he performed tricks exclusively on his hands, then he learned to play the saxophone and entered the top ten best saxophonists in the United States. And then Eckhart graduated from the Higher Academy of Economics and a few years later became a millionaire.

dragonfly man

Quite often there are deformities associated with anomalies of the eyes. In the middle of the 19th century, a four-eyed man was very popular in England - one pair of eyes was located above the other. He made a living by displaying his deformity and by the fact that he could rotate and roll out his eyes in different directions.

The American Michael Perry had 3 eyes - and besides this, a cleft lip and two noses ... Recently, the unfortunate man shot himself.

But the dragonfly man is quite accustomed to his ugliness. The volume of his eyes was 3 times larger than that of a normal person and at the same time he looked at the world at an angle of 320 degrees - I saw everything that was happening behind my back without turning my head. Due to his peculiarity, the dragonfly man became a circus performer and made a good living.

Lose a ton

The fattest on the planet was an American, the only son of Texas oil tycoons Buster Simkus. At 36, his weight reached 970 kg, and a year later - 1141 kg. All his life he hardly moved, but every day he ate a huge amount of food - 8-10 kg of meat, 8 chickens, 6 buckets of juice and 4 buckets of beer.

At 37, Buster fell in love and decided to lose weight. The fat man went to the clinic, while the doors of the mansion about his parents had to be broken, because he did not pass through them. He spent 8 months in the clinic and lost almost a ton of weight!

But then he had another problem - the skin sagged in huge folds. Buster underwent several skin excisions and became a normal person. But probably the girl still rejected his hand and heart, because Buster stayed with his parents and again began to absorb kilograms of food. After just a couple of years, he again began to weigh more than a ton. In 2005, he died, while weighing 1600 kilograms ...

They were born under lucky star. Was it so fate, or did they long and stubbornly go to their world fame, but the fact remains: they are rich and famous, and also ... ugly, as hell knows what! Photos of the scariest, ugliest celebrities.

1. Michael Jackson

And who did you expect to see in our list under the first number? Michael Jackson could have become a successful performer and earned worldwide fame by remaining a black singer, but he himself decided to destroy both his face and his reputation. He began to look like an albino, acquiring facial features that were completely unusual for him, for example, the shape of a nose, which is absolutely not characteristic of representatives of the black race. He showed us all what can happen when a person is too critical of his appearance, bestowed upon him by mother nature ... As a result, Michael Jackson turned out to be something between an alien and an albino.

2. Marilyn Manson

Gee... What the hell did this guy do? An unnaturally whitened face, different-colored eyes (one is his own, the other is covered with a pale blue lens) and blood-red lips make him look like a ghost ...

Marilyn Manson is simply ugly, you can't say otherwise, and, the strangest thing, he chose this appearance himself. Moreover, he not only disfigures himself, but also awakens disgust in everyone who looks at him.

3. Jocelyn Wildenstein

It's just a nightmare! This is what happens when you are obsessed with plastic surgery. rich socialite from Switzerland, Jocelyn became famous precisely because of her ugliness.

According to rumors, Wildenstein has allegedly already spent about $ 4,000,000 on plastic surgery in the United States, with her husband, world-famous art billionaire Alec Wildenstein, paying all the expenses.

4. Michael Berryman

No, don't think this is not makeup for new role. The Los Angeles-born actor suffers from an inherited condition called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. This rare disease that affects the sweat glands, hair, nails and teeth determined his creative role - Michael is removed mainly in horror films and science fiction projects. He has a rich filmography, which includes such tapes as “Oh, this science”, “Alf”, “Invitation to Hell”. He also starred in legendary films like "The Devil's Rejects" "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Berryman usually gets the role of mutants, monsters, monstrous villains and other horror-inducing characters.

5. DJ Qualls

And again before us is a man who, against his will, acquired a really strange appearance. Qualls rescheduled oncological disease lymphogranulomatosis or Hodgkin's disease, which he contracted at the age of 14. He was able to defeat a fatal illness: after two years of numerous surgeries (including the removal of the spleen), chemotherapy and radiation therapy, Qualls entered a remission stage, during which he acquired such a peculiar appearance: the young man is distinguished by excessive thinness. In 1997, he entered the University of Nashville. And then (oh, happy fate!), At one of the performances of the city theater, he was noticed famous photographer David LaChapelle and began to invite to his photo shoots. Qualls began modeling for Prada and Calvin Klein. After he was able to become famous as an actor, starring in the film "Road Adventure".

6. Marty Feldman

He starred in the films The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, and also took part as a guest in one of the episodes of the legendary Muppet Show - One Thousand and One Nights.

7. Clint Howard

This time we are not talking about any illness - just this artist himself does not have a very pleasant appearance. But it is she who is the reason for his incredible popularity. The 1959-born actor has starred in films such as Backdraft, Apollo 13, Knockdown, and TV series Star Trek and Arrested Development. In 1998, Howard was awarded the MTV Award. He was married twice, and he took this step only in order to prove to everyone that appearance does not matter in his personal life.

8. Shane McGowan

This Irish musician, a member of The Pogues, became famous throughout the world as a talented author and performer. own songs. He is recognized as one of the most significant and poetic Irish composers and musicians of the last 30 years. Great find for our top! He actually looks awful, just awful...

9. Lyle Lovett

Surely Lyle Lovett has incriminating materials on half of humanity. Otherwise, how was he allowed to leave hell and get to our sinful earth? And the fact that Julia Roberts married this monster makes us think that she, too, was a victim of his blackmail ... or fell under some kind of charm we do not understand.

Find at least something attractive in this person, and if you find it, share it with us - let's laugh together.

10. Kelis

Holy God... Yes, Kelis is not one of those girls who all the boys in the yard run after. When you look at her, a doubt creeps in, is she a woman or an alien from outer space? It sounds a little strange, but if you look at her photo, you can see that her mouth is constantly open, as if she is preparing to swallow you.

Brr, it's unpleasant, of course ... And every time, looking at her next picture, you involuntarily start looking for the Adam's apple.

11. Iggy Pop

Rock singer, composer and actor, he is also called godfather(sometimes the "grandfather") of punk rock. Iggy Pop was the vocalist for The Stooges, a leading grunge and rock band in the late 60s and early 70s that influenced the emerging heavy metal and punk rock genres. Live concerts of The Stooges were notorious, because during his performances Iggy jumped off the stage into the crowd, mutilated himself with a broken bottle, smeared peanut butter on his naked torso and insulted the audience. So, not being naturally handsome, he managed to disfigure himself even more at his own whim.

12. Steven Tyler

This guy looks like a real zombie. He is a famous and very talented singer, cool guy, the dad of one of the coolest girls in Hollywood, he had so many women and money that anyone would envy ... and he is also scary as a nightmare ...

13. Courtney Love

Drugs have never made anyone attractive. And this woman became an example of what an ugly and sexless creature a rather nice girl can turn into as a result of drug use.

14. Donatella Versace

15. Amy Winehouse

Another drug victim English singer and songwriter, soul, jazz and R&B performer. On her body there were many tattoos depicting naked women. When asked about this, she admitted that in this regard she likes girls more.

Amy always said that when she leaves the stage, she will open a beauty salon and live out her life making people beautiful and happy ... Unfortunately, she did not succeed in doing this, she passed away at the age of 27 years.

16. Ronaldinho

One of the best football players of our time, Ronaldinho, can easily be called the funniest, most honest, most likeable, but at the same time ... and the ugliest world-class athlete. This famous Brazilian is not really trying to embellish his image, for him this is done by his fees of truly cosmic proportions.

17. Kelly Osbourne

Who doesn't know Kelly, the daughter of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne? Americans are very touched by her British accent, besides, everyone recognizes that she has a pronounced personality, but, frankly, Kelly Osbourne's appearance leaves much to be desired. And it's not at all that the girl is fat, no, in Lately she managed to lose a lot of weight, then gain a little again, then lose it again ... Come on, let's be honest, weight fluctuations have nothing to do with it! It cannot radically change a person if he is not naturally very attractive, which is why Kelly made our list!

18. Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling owes her career entirely to her father, media mogul Aaron Spelling, otherwise, with her appearance, the girl would never have been able to break into the screen. For some reason, you always want to hope that yes, daddy pushed through, but then she will prove with her talent that it was not in vain that she was given such strong patronage. But... all hopes are in vain, and (thanks to dad Aaron!) every time you see Tori on TV, for some reason you want to change the channel.

Terrible, but it does not give the opportunity to see, what if she actually became a real star? Alas, it doesn't get better with age...

19. Rosie O'Donnell

Rosie O'Donnell is a real hooligan, and it's not a bad thing that we got her on our list. It is ugly, but simple and understandable to everyone.

Dear readers!

Let's observe the norms of decency in conversation and communicate in a civilized manner. All unreasoned comments, as well as comments containing obscene language, comments that become personal will be deleted.

Thank you for your attention!

The human body grows and develops in accordance with that genetic program which is embedded in DNA. This molecule is made up of genes through which protein is produced. It serves as a building material for all life on Earth. Each gene, to put it simply, is responsible for a particular organ. These are the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and skeleton. etc. All of them begin to grow and develop even in the womb of the mother's body. At the same time, the process of their development follows a well-established scheme.

Genes scrupulously adhere to a certain program, direct cell division, and, in the end, a small man. He has a head, arms, legs, eyes and other organs necessary for normal life. Very often children grow up handsome men and women with ideal body proportions. Such bodies are pleasing to the eye and cause a feeling of admiration. Humanity owes all of this to DNA.

It would seem that a monument to this molecule, which gives people the joys of life, should be erected. But do not overpraise the complex biological design. She's not as perfect as she seems. Sometimes a systemic failure occurs in the molecule, and the development of individual parts of the body deviates from the given programs. In this case, creatures appear in the light of God, absolutely not similar to the surrounding people. Freak people - that's what they've been called since time immemorial. Physical deviations bring incalculable suffering to freak people, but it is impossible to help them. Science still has very little knowledge to correct the work of genes on its own.

Such perfect human bodies are born thanks to the precise work of DNA.

From this we can conclude that the Higher Mind, which invented DNA at one time, was by no means distinguished by conscientiousness and responsibility. These guys obviously cheated and did such a responsible job in bad faith. A person can only state the facts of ugliness and meekly demolish the marriage of hacks.

Calms only the thought that it is for the time being. Genetics will soon go far ahead, and people will eventually learn to correct the flaws of others. Our descendants may even get to higher mind. They'll kick these guys' ears or take off their belts and unfasten them in a fatherly way in soft places. But this is a matter for the future, but we will turn to the past and talk about the clearly expressed ugliness, which has always aroused in people a feeling of great curiosity mixed with compassion.

hairy people

Doctors call increased hair on the body "hypertrichosis". This is when a person is covered from head to toe with hair. They do not grow only on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It is especially unpleasant when lush vegetation covers the face. The most famous person with this deformity was Jo-Jo. He was born in St. Petersburg in 1868. His name was Fedor Evtishchev.

Jo-Jo or Fedor Evtishchev

Thanks to the hairiness, the boy with early years performed first in Russian, then in French circuses. In 1884, the famous American showman Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891) drew attention to him. The young man went to America and received the pseudonym Jo-Jo. He traveled all over the states, acting as a humanoid dog. The cunning showman told everyone that he was born by a woman who became pregnant from a German shepherd. Fedor died in 1904 from pneumonia while on tour in Europe.

Freak people are not only among men. A terrible and terrible burden falls on the fragile female shoulders. An example of this is the Puerto Rican Priscilla Loter. The Loters themselves lived in the United States. They adopted the girl in 1911, paying decent money to her parents. The entire body of the child was covered with long black hair. On the face, only the nose, cheeks and forehead were devoid of vegetation. For the Lother spouses, who labored in the field circus attractions, the ugly girl was a real find.

Priscilla with her adoptive father Karl Lauter

In addition to hairiness, Priscilla had two rows of teeth growing in her mouth. However, that didn't bother her at all. The ugliness did not affect the intellect either. The child was exceptionally smart. He was a wild success with the audience. Respectable in all respects, Karl Loter, before Priscilla's performance, sincerely assured the audience that she was born by a woman who had an intimate relationship with a great ape. Of course, the master was a little cunning, but it was necessary to somehow stir up the interest of the satiated public. In confirmation of the invented “legend”, Priscilla performed on the circus stage only with monkeys.

One very rich and eccentric American woman wanted to adopt a girl. She cherished the dream of crossing her with a monkey. But the Loters were not tempted by a large amount of money and refused the lover of exotic experiments. Priscilla married a circus performer who also had a deformity. The young man's skin on his body was covered with large scabs, and he portrayed an alligator in front of the audience. God did not give this couple children, but they lived a long and happy life together.

Giants and dwarfs

History knows quite a few people with very small and large stature. These are also freak people, since they turned out like this as a result of a genetic failure. In the old days, all monarchs kept dwarfs in their courts. It was believed that shorties and midgets bring good luck. For more than a thousand years, this public has enjoyed a favorable situation. Near the royal table they lived quite well. If they still knew how to make laugh, then they became favorites of the reigning persons. The most famous of all dwarfs is Geoffrey Hudson.

The shorty was eaten at the court of the English king Charles I (1600-1649). His height was only 75 cm in adulthood. As a child, he was less than 15 centimeters, so he was often put in a large cake and served at the table. The guests surrounded the confectionery miracle, and then a tiny man jumped out of it, like a devil from a snuffbox. For those who didn't know, it had a tremendous effect.

Little people in a big world

Geoffrey was very fond of the queen. Naturally, the kid enjoyed it. He behaved boldly and defiantly with the courtiers. One day, the dwarf considered himself offended by the marquis and challenged him to a duel. The kid had his own sword. It was made to him by order of the queen. With this miniature weapon, Geoffrey managed to wound the Marquis several times in the thigh, before the soldiers arrived in time to separate the brawlers.

No less popular and freak people huge growth. Ancient historians call startling figures. For example, the same Goliath had a height of 2 meters 90 centimeters. Many researchers who adhere to the alien version of the development of human civilization believe that Goliath was not a Philistine, but a representative of an alien race. So be it, but besides Goliath, there are enough other giants who are in no way inferior to him in size.

You can call Orestes, whose growth reached 3 meters. This is the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra - the sister of Helen the Beautiful, because of which the Trojan War broke out. Here the alien version will no longer crawl through, since sister The giant was Iphigenia. The same beautiful girl who wanted to be slaughtered to appease Artemis. The growth of the young creature did not stand out among other girls. Thus, if Orestes is an alien, then why is Iphigenia so small?

Let's leave ancient Greek mythology on the conscience of historians and turn to the ancient Romans. They, too, could boast of huge freak people. Judging by the memoirs of Josephus Flavius ​​(37-100), who wrote the famous work "Jewish War", very tall slaves lived in Rome. Among them, one named Eleazar stood out in particular. His height reached 3 meters 30 centimeters. But this giant was no different physical force. He was long and thin. But I ate for three. In the competitions of inveterate eaters, Eleazar always won everyone.

It is believed that high growth directly depends on the bones of the legs. The longer the legs, the taller the person. At the same time, the length of his body is not much different from the standard sizes. Giants rarely have great physical strength. The real athlete was a giant named Angus MacAskill. He was born in Scotland in 1825. Until the age of 13, he was an ordinary child. Then he began to grow rapidly. At the age of 21, his height was 235 cm with a weight of 180 kg. It was a mountain of muscle without a single ounce of fat.

Naturally, a huge strong man performed in the circus, while earning good money. He lifted weights, striking the audience with incredible strength. But there is a hole in the old woman too. MacAskill once made a $1,000 bet that he would raise sea ​​water ship anchor. He weighed almost 900 kg, but the money was very good, and the mighty giant got down to business. The giant lifted the anchor, but at the same time injured his spine. I had to quit the circus. Already an invalid, Mac-Askill went to his homeland, where he died in 1863.

Robert Wadlow with his older brother

The tallest man on the planet in the history of civilization is officially considered Robert Wadlow. This is an American who lived in Mississippi. He died at the age of 22 in 1940. The young man weighed 220 kg with a height of 267 cm. The cause of death was not high growth at all, but a banal blood poisoning. The guy cut his leg, which led to an untimely death.

Fat people are freaks

Fat people also belong to freak people. But not ordinary fat people, but immensely fat personalities. For them, elementary physical actions are a whole problem. Even to walk around the room, fat people need to make a lot of effort. The American Robert Earl Hughes belongs to this company. He lived in Indiana, and left the mortal world in 1958. His weight was 468 kg with a height of 178 cm.

This man could not move. In order to sit, a special chair was made for him. He slept on a special bed. Its frame was welded from steel corners. The mattress was placed on a steel sheet welded to the corners. When Robert was taken to the hospital, they had to order a crane and a loader. The cause of his death was overweight, which is not at all surprising.

Fat freak people were not uncommon in other states of America. A similar situation was observed in Johnny Ali, who lived in North Carolina. He was born in 1853 and at first was no different from other children. When the boy was 11 years old, he just had a wolfish appetite. The child began to rapidly gain weight. By the age of 15, he could no longer pass through the doorway to leave the house on the street. At the age of 16, the young man switched to a reclining lifestyle.

All the time he spent at home, sitting in a special chair. He slept in it, because he simply could not get over to the bed, and the family were not able to drag the huge body back and forth. The weight of the young man reached 509 kg. This data was obtained after Johnny died. During his lifetime, no one weighed him, so as not to create unnecessary problems for himself.

A young man died in 1887 at the age of 33. The reason for this was elementary human stubbornness. Johnny tried to get up from time to time so as not to feel completely flawed. So this time, he managed to lift his huge carcass from the chair and went to the window of the room to admire the world around him. The floorboards could not withstand the enormous weight. The floorboards broke and the poor man fell down. There was a cellar under the room, but Johnny didn't fall into it. He was stuck in the hole, legs dangling helplessly.

Relatives and neighbors hastily began to build a wooden platform so that the fat man could lean on him with his feet. But while people were working, the young man could not stand all the upheavals and died. A huge body was pulled out of the basement with the help of horses. At the funeral, artiodactyls and special blocks were also used to lower the coffin with the deceased into the grave.

Freak people with two heads

Similar people-freaks also occasionally appear in the world, introducing eyewitnesses this phenomenon into a state of superstitious terror. In 1953, a two-headed baby was born in Indiana. He lived for several weeks. One of the heads was completely normal. The other had a mouth, eyes, ears, but there were no glimmers of intelligence on her face. The heads grew from one body, but each moved, slept and ate independently of the other.

Much earlier, in 1889, also in the state of Indiana, a creature was born, which in official medicine is called the "Jones twins." They had a common body, but their heads were directed in opposite directions. The "twins" had 4 legs, and each two fused with each other. The body had two arms. It seemed that the right hand obeyed the orders of one brain, and the left - another. The Jones twins died in 1891.

Baby with two heads

In 1829, a freak with two heads was born on the island of Sardinia. Each head "sat" on a long neck. The body was common with two arms and legs. Parents gave the child the name Rita-Christina. The family lived very poorly, so the father and mother took the two-headed creature with them to Paris and began to show it to the curious public for money.

It all ended with the fact that the authorities banned such an immoral event. Parents left Rita-Christina in the winter in an unheated room and went home. The child very soon died of hunger and cold. Doctors opened a small body and made sure that, apart from two heads, there were no more paired organs in it. The skeleton of the unfortunate child is still kept in Paris today.

History knows a man with one head but two faces. This is Edward Mordrake. He lived in the 19th century and was a representative of an aristocratic English family. His second face was located at the back of his head. It had muscles, so it could smile, frown, and even laugh. But most of the time, the face bore the stamp of gloomy doom. The owner of two persons could not bear such a burden that weighed on his psyche. He went insane and ended up in a psychiatric hospital.

Freak people with one eye

The first one-eyed people are the Cyclopes. Their only eye was located on their forehead. We know about this from ancient Greek mythology. Whether these freak people actually lived on earth or not is unknown. But medicine is well known to a Negro named Nikolos. He lived in the first half of the 20th century in Mississippi. He had a normal human eye in the center of his forehead. There were no eye sockets, as such. These places were absolutely flat, covered with leather. Eyebrows grew, like all normal people.

Representatives of the circus business promised this man fabulous money. But he never entered the circus arena. Nikolos led farming and tried to avoid people. He felt comfortable only among animals. Nikolos was very fond of dogs, which were up to the lantern that their owner had one eye. The one-eyed American did not start a family and died quietly alone in the 60s of the last century.

Conclusion

Thus, it is clear that the DNA molecule from time to time "gives out on the mountain" amazing biological masterpieces. Freak people amaze humanity with their appearance while experiencing unspeakable mental anguish. Even if they earn a lot of money performing in the circus, this is hardly a moral consolation for them. Many of them would agree to live in poverty, but have a normal human appearance.

Nowadays, when the environment leaves much to be desired, abnormal deviations in people are becoming more common. These are no longer flaws in the work of the Higher Mind, but the irresponsible activities of individual representatives of the human race. So it is still unknown who needs to be "given a belt" - to the mysterious humanoids who invented DNA, or the owners of huge corporations, gradually and steadily turning human race into creepy mutants.

Are you unhappy with your appearance? Just look at these people, and you will instantly forget about some non-existent flaws in your own body. Today we will talk about those who are usually called freaks in modern society.

1. Ulas family

In the province of Hatay, in Turkey, the Ulas family lives. Of its 19 members, five brothers and sisters move around on all fours. Scientists have come to the conclusion that they all suffer from a disability rare species. They cannot master upright posture simply because they lack balance and stability. Interestingly, scientists still cannot give an exact explanation of why this happens. Professor Nicholas Humphrey notes that this is a prime example of a strange violation human development. Moreover, some scientists believe that the problem of the family is proof that people can devolve, while others are of the opinion that the poor fellows suffer from some kind of hereditary disease, for example, Yuner Tan syndrome or cerebellar hypoplasia.

2. The Aceves family

This Mexican family is also called the hairiest in the world. All of its members suffer from a rare disease - congenital hypertrichosis. People with this genetic mutation have an extra piece of DNA that affects neighboring genes responsible for hair growth. This pathology is manifested in the fact that not only the whole body, but also the face becomes hairy. In the Aceves family, about 30 people - both women and men - suffer from this disease. It is difficult to imagine how much bullying from society fell on the fate of these unfortunate people ...

Ming used to be abused by staff and other children living in orphanage. They tied him to the bed and prevented the boy from taking a shower to “remove” his old skin.

2. Dede Koswara
Man is a tree

Dede Koswara is an Indonesian man who has been suffering from a fungal infection called epidermodysplasia verruciformis for most of his life. It causes the growth of large, tough fungal growths that look very similar to tree bark.

In 2008, Dede underwent a course of treatment in the USA, as a result of which 8 kg of warts were removed from his body. After that, a skin graft was made on the face and hands. Unfortunately, as a result of the operation, it was not possible to stop the growth of the fungus, so another surgical intervention was performed in 2011. There is no cure for Dede disease.
