  • I’d have put the vocal chords in the nasal passage, allowing humans to still talk while eliminating the choking problem.

    Exactly. A very simple correction to the design would allow for both.

    The laryngeal nerve is a great example of how flawed our bodies are. A few more are:

    • Our back is terrible for walking upright. It evolved as a horizontal support and doesn’t work well when compressed.
    • Our hips are too narrow for the size skull we give birth to. Many women die from this without healthcare.
    • Our eyes suck. A lot of people need corrective lenses from a young age. This gets even worse as we age.
    • Speaking of eyes, our retinas are backwards. The nerves that send the signals back to our brains run in front the receptors that pick up the light. We have a blind spot because those nerves need to pass through to reach the brain.






  • I think you’re under the impression that Nazis only killed Jews or that they have a particular link with them. Nearly half the victims of the holocaust were not Jews. They didn’t even start with killing Jews. They worked up to them later. They started with homosexuals, the disabled, sick, Slavic peoples, Roma (gypsies).

    The numbers generally referenced are that of the 11 million people murdered in the holocaust, 6 million were Jewish, and 5 million were not.
