I remember listening to a podcast about this subject and was quite surprised to find out that the ability to re-grow limbs is way more common than we've previously thought and I think they were saying that the same mechanism that allows this to happen on other species is present on humans aswell.

Was this podcast by a Dr Curt Connors?

No I don't think so. It was a quest on either Joe Rogan's or Sam Harris' podcast like 2 years ago.

I can't tell if some layers of irony are happening here, but Dr. Curt Connors is The Lizard from Spider-Man
