What are you mad at evolution for?

[Narz]

For instance craving rich foods even tho you know too much will harm you. Or the fact that love and desire are often in reverse proportion (the hot cashier is going to stoke more desire than your wife of 20 years). Also aging in general.

Evolution isn't responsible for ageing: that's physics for you.

If there was more selective pressure for longevity humans would have much higher lifespans.

Lack of electroreception.

Well, yes, but we'd still age and die eventually. Of course, evolution doesn't care about how long or healthily you live, just whether you can reproduce or not.

My bad lower back, resulting from humans evolving from four legs to two.

"For instance craving rich foods even tho you know too much will harm you"

I hear dat. We evolved during times of famine and so got very good at putting on weight whenever possible.

And why, at a certain age, does hair stop growing on your head but instead comes out your ears and nose?

 

[Lemon Merchant]

Cockroaches.

Ugh.

 

[Broken_Erika]

Not having a sequel.

 

[Borachio]

For being incomprehensible to creationists.

I personally think that evolution is a neat idea.

And then there's epigenetics.

 

[Senethro]

Breathing and food passing through a shared passage.

I wish I had a tail I could smack people with

Instead I have a tailbone that does nothing except hurt a lot if you break it

Yeah, that's a pretty bad hack. Sure, take your basic quadrupedal vertebrate body plan and spend a small portion of evolutionary history trying to force it to work in an upright position.

A tail would be awesome, then you could control the mouse with it while using the keyboard with both hands.

Having sweat glands is pretty annoying

That wouldn't even a problem if our feet were accurate enough to steer the mouse. But at one point we'll start steering the mouse with out thoughts anyway, so that'll not stay a problem forever.

Seriously, why are our feet so useless? It's like having 2 extra hands that you can't really use for anything other than walking and kicking people when you think about it.

Better than panting constantly though.

It is?

 

[Lexicus]

It is?

When you have hyperhidrosis and regularly sweat through your clothes for no reason it is.

Better than panting constantly though.

See I wish I could pant
