top-10-design-flaws-in-the-human-body

7/30/2015

This article identifies and explores the top 10 design flaws in the human body. It examines various aspects of human anatomy and physiology that can be considered as design flaws from a functional perspective. The article discusses examples such as the vulnerability of the human eye to injury, the limited range of motion in the human spine, and the propensity for certain organs to malfunction or be prone to disease. By highlighting these design flaws, the article encourages readers to reflect on the imperfections of the human body and the evolutionary trade-offs that have shaped our biology.
