I donno, I am inclined to agree with the spaghetti code connotation. Humans are insanely adaptive, flexible, and efficient, but there are some serious design flaws. Here are some examples of a few things I could see improving: The need to inhale and exhale out of the same place that you need to eat and drink is bad engineering, too much risk of choking or drowning. The sexual reproductive organs sharing the space with waste elimination is unsanitary during copulation. Finally, bipedal upright legs. Legs are awkward and unbalanced, and the knees are extremely susceptible to injury, we would greatly benefit from a more robust mobility design.
Extra Credit: A prehensile tail would be extremely useful in many situations and I believe may decrease the risk of injury for elderly people. With an adequately strong prehensile tail, older people would be able to use it as a sort of a tripod leg to keep themselves upright with less risk of falling.
- lurquer 6y agoI'm with you on the tails. Tails would be cool. But, I think the double use of orifices (air, food, urine, semen) is a good idea. Minimizing orifices seems to be an advantage... fewer avenues for outside stuff getting in. (And I don't think human sexual organs are necessarily dirtier due their location; urine is more or less sterile, and feces shouldn't really come into play under ordinary circumstances... )
