Imagine we have a tail to wag
2008, March 5. by Sknownotice
Could you have imagine that we have a tail to wag wherever we go? Oh, could it be so cute like a fox or cat? (Dear anime fans, are you imagining characters in Kanokon or Omamori Himari?) Hm, what? No, I am not saying that humans are animals! Never! Human is human. You might have been thinking that, “Human doesn’t have any tail at all!” So, how can we say “we could have wag our tail”? Woff, woff! (wagging tail). How does it looks like?
From what I have read, I could say that human does have a tail weeks before human is born. Just that cells on certain parts of our body has been programmed to ‘die on time’ in order for our body to take shape like how we looked like now. Well, you could take a look on how a human embryo looks like during 25 to 27 days after ovulation and other human embryo images.
Similarly, “all our body cells are programmed to commit suicide at the right time… replaced with new cells”, according to an online document discussing about ‘Stuff You Didn’t Know About Death‘. In fact, our skin cells reincarnate into new cells every six months. That means, even without using cosmetic products, our skin can naturally renew skin cells twice a year (As for this fact, I can’t remember from where I have read). Huh, still imagining yourself with a tail?

Someone assume it a ‘tail’ or just a growing ’spinal cord’ with back bone. Whichever. A ‘tail’ has a bone which is connected to the back bone for any mammals that have tails, am I right? Take a look at the cat’s skeleton for example. It does have “bones of the tail”.
