Is MGA the next step up in the evolutionary chain?
I am thinking that this redundant innervation is an evolutionary advantage. I've also heard that MGA is associated with higher levels of intelligence and good looks (unpublished observations). It's present in 20% of people. Not sure if I mentioned I personally have MGA.
What do others think? Evolutionary advantage or random mutation? Not sure I see any downsides to MGA.

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
