Evidence of Twin Absorption

When a twin absorbs its twin very early, the lost twin can be evident in the form of physical anomaly's in the surviving twin, such as this: the Guinness Book of World Records winner for most fingers and toes!

This boy in India (a hotbed of fertility treatments, which can cause twinning to go right or wrong) was born with 10 toes on each foot and 7 fingers on each hand.

Wonder if this boy felt his twin being separated as his extra digits were removed...
