How do you know that’s true?

Evolution is just a description of a process, it isn't a tangible thing.

[candiddevmike]

Because we eat and breath through the same tube

[_justinfunk]

There are two tubes.

[p1esk]

Evolution came up with the shared eating/breathing tube design because it made sense for aquatic animals (from which we evolved).

[KineticLensman]

The trachea and oesophagus both start in the common space of the pharynx. The epiglottis stops food going down the wrong one

[hackernewds]

we don't. which is why we choke and hiccup

[poulpy123]

Because evolution is random change + natural selection

[thfuran]

You're proposing that statistics is intelligent?

[hypertele-Xii]

You're proposing that evolution is statistics?

[thfuran]

Basically, yeah.

Notable that the people who saw the first automatons argued whether they were alive.

[int_19h]

People also argued that animals are mere automatons, that all their observable behavior is basically scripted, and that humans shouldn't empathize with them on those grounds. That's how vivisection etc used to be justified since at least Descartes.

[chrischen]

Evolution is not a single orchestrator. It is merely the natural result of a simple mechanical process over a timescale that exceeds the lifetime of the common human.
