We have spines that expire far before we do, knees that make most enterprise design-by-committee solutions look simple in comparison, and a passage where the food and air goes through.

We also have heads so big they often cause pregnancy complications and hips that don't go wide enough for those heads to pass through (you can attack this problem from either side).

I guess the cherry on top is incompatible long-/short-term mating preferences that lead to devastating consequences for ourselves and our kids.

Nature might be advanced technology but wow it sure makes suboptimal choices and often. You can retort saying nature doesn't have mind but then you probably shouldn't call it advanced tech which ipso facto requires purpose & plan.

When it comes to suboptimal choices based only on path dependence and institutional intertia, nature has nothing on humanity's computing infrastructure. :P

Nature knows how to kill unviable code.

One of the worst is the human shoulder. Sneeze wrong and you've got an impingement and a tear.
