First question, which kind of toes are recessive & which are dominant? Second question, is it different for the different populations?

Before shoes, weak toed people would get killed off in greater rates, cuz they ran slower when the beasty chased a tribe, so fewer people would pass along weak toes. After shoes, more weak toe people would live to reproduce. Could be that smart weak toe people invented shoes, giving smart weak toe people an advantage over all strong toe people & stupid weak toe people.

Weak toes dominant and strong toes recessive? I guess I could consider that notion but as far as the shoe angle goes, aren't there some tribes that never really devised shoes for themselves that have no members with "strong toes"?

If you don't find the "strong toes" in the primitive shoeless tribes, you can throw out the shoe theory.
