Abstract
Diphallia is a rare condition in humans with only about 100 cases reported and affecting 1 in 5-6 million live newborns. It is a result of embryonic development of urogenital tract from paired ducts. ...it appears that the ancients had attained some working knowledge of anatomical variations and used them in their depictions, whichhad not necessarily been made for transmission of knowledge in a scientific way, but rather for practical and folk uses.
