＜p＞＜strong＞An illuminating, entertaining tour of the physical imperfections that make us human＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution’s greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so oftenーtwo hundred times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? Why is the vast majority of our genetic code pointless? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there’s been some kind of mistake.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As professor of biology Nathan H.

The human body is one big pile of compromises. But that is also a testament to our greatness: as Lents shows, humans have so many design flaws precisely because we are very, very good at getting around them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A rollicking, deeply informative tour of humans’ four billion year long evolutionary saga, ＜em＞Human Errors＜/em＞ both celebrates our imperfections and offers an unconventional accounting of the cost of our success.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
