Because studying the entire 6-foot stretch of human DNA is a huge project, scientists are tackling the genome one chromosome at a time.
And this happens normally during development, for instance, in the development of the hand, that normally to begin with, the hand looks very much like a duck paddle foot and the webs between the fingers. Those cells apoptose, giving you the fingers.
The earliest fossils in this lineage is Hyracotherium , which was the size of a dog, with cusped low-crowned molars, four toes on each front foot, three on each hind foot--all adaptations for forest living.

Adaptations are structures or behaviors that allow efficient use of the environment. For example, the webbed foot of a duck enables it to swim better than a foot that is not webbed.
Adaptations are due to genes, that is, they are inherited.
parapodia -- A sort of "false foot" formed by extension of the body cavity. Polychaetes and some insect larvae have parapodia in addition to their legs, and these provide extra help in locomotion.
