Evolution can't slip into reverse and head back to the drawing board when it becomes apparent it's ballsed things up. If someone designed this, I give them 1 star out of 5 and want my money back.

Of course I learnt about the recurrent laryngeal nerve in the dissection room at medical school but I first appreciated its silliness when reading The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins. It's just one of the many examples of how evolution has resulted in quite daft anatomy and physiology.

I had about an hour free so I went with something I know and as such you might've heard this one before but it's such fun it's worth telling again. Sorry about the occasional weird audio click, I think it was interference from the MRI scanner which I only noticed later on. The search for a quiet place to film goes on...

The problem with evolution is that there's no eraser, or at least there's none that won't kill you. Once something is established to help you live you simply can't mutate to undo it and try something better, evolution's too slow to do that without putting you at high risk of death, so you're stuck like that until the feature becomes completely useless and even then you have to wait for it start actively killing people who still have it in their genes, but thanks to modern medicine that's gonna happen even slower now

The recurrent nerve is, indeed, goofy. My left recurrent nerve was damaged just below my jawline and I couldn't talk above a whisper for nearly a year. It took a prosthetic implant to support my vocal cords to fix things. If anyone is wondering, having a camera jammed up your nose and down your throat so the otolaryngologist can see what's going on in there? Super uncomfortable, even after the anesthetic (which tastes terrible.) But it's worth it to be able to talk at normal volumes again.

@@TheReal_GigaChad unfortunately, we weren't able to determine a specific cause. The official diagnosis included "idiopathic" which is medical speak for "dunno why."

Thankfully, since the surgery to implant the prosthesis (thyroplasty) I haven't had any problems.

The crazy route of the recurrent laryngeal nerve saved my life. True story: in my 20s, I (barely) survived a squamous cell carcinoma growing rapidly near the base of my trachea (very rare location for a non-smoker in their 20s). If it had been detected just a few weeks later, I might not have made it. The reason I got checked out a couple of weeks before the severe dyspnea began (by which time I would have been in even deeper trouble) was that the neoplasm compressed my recurrent laryngeal nerve, paralysing one vocal chord and causing me to lose my voice overnight. Without this odd symptom, I doubt I would have sought medical help soon enough.

Man the immune system is so amazing and so incredibly dumb sometimes. The fact thta the body for any reason can think a substance is harmful when it does nothing actively is so dumb. It's dumber still when the immune system things parts of the body itself are bad, like with MS and attacks your needed living matter. The body is definitely not perfect. The whole reason Corona is so damn dangerous if you are unlucky or in a risk group is because of how it tricks the immune system to go nuclear, using up all it's resources and leaving you open to secondary infection. The reason diseases and cancer suck so much is because the body either gets tricked or doesn't recognize the invader or rogue cells as dangerous. Viruses hijack the immune system. A great example nearly everyone has is the herpes simplex that causes cold sores. It imbeds itself and hides in an area the immune system can't see and won't readily attack. Then it goes dormant so that it's even more less likely to be identified. When it "wakes up" it causes a cold sore, though some immune systems are really good at seeing it early and attack it immediately, but the coldsore part is just a copy of the original, still hiding in your body somewhere behind your ear.

Most people get that. We just say "It evolved to x" or "Evolution did x" because it's a lot easier to say and brings the same point across as "It took generations of random mutation to cause this change and it happened to do x and that was an evolutionary benefit which is why it survived". When we say "This plant evolved to look like an insect to lure in birds to spread it's pollen" we know that wasn't a conscious decision on anyones part. We know it was chance and natural selection that just kinda made it happen. It's just a lot faster to say and anyone who understands the basics of evolution knows what we mean when we say that. Going "Well aktschually it didn't do it for a purpose!" helps noone, it just makes you feel better because you think you're smarter than others, when you're really just more pedantic.

"The pathway from the aortic arch baroreceptors has heretofore been thought to run directly through the vagus nerve. We have shown, however, that in the rat a significant number of fibers from aortic arch baroreceptors run in the left recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), through the larynx into the left superior laryngeal nerve (SLN), and only then into the vagus. Blocking or cutting the left RLN produces a significant drop in overall baroreceptor reflex activity, and furthermore, nerve fibers have been isolated in the left RLN which show exactly the same patterns of discharge as those from arterial baroreceptors elsewhere."

Evolution: If the wheel is still attached, I don't care about the squeaking. I'd like to point out though that reaching sexual maturity and reproduction are also not on evolutions priority list. People seem to think that that's the "one biological drive", but no, it's just a means to ensure survival. There are animals that out-survive and thrive animals that fuck WAY harder. A good example? Human beings. When it comes to litter size, humans are in the absolute bottom percentile, and human children take among the longest of almost any animal to reach sexual maturity. Most of the other animals that do so are critically endangered, ironically, _because_ of humans, despite the apparent even playing field where reproduction is concerned. Meanwhile, compare the rabbit, which is an excellent example of how specialized reproduction is a tool, not the end goal: Despite the fact that they're virtually harmless and prey to almost any predator in their ecosystem, even predators that they outweigh (the stoat often prey on rabbits, despite being around half the weight), they have very few defensive adaptations, yet survive purely because of their specialized reproduction cycles. They can increase their population size exponentially in a tiny amount of time, and they have such a high level of genetic disruption between generations that they actually solve the issue of inbreeding _by_ _inbreeding_ _more_ As a result, they're an extremely successful species that can survive in almost as many climates as humans and succeed in environments with lots of predators. However, this wasn't some kind of push towards sexual reproduction, this was just evolution refining a specific trait that gave it's species a survival advantage, the same as leaf katydids and armadillos. At the end of the day, if there are still members of the species left, for whatever reason, evolution is basically saying "Good enough"

How are those two points related? You can criticise obviously flawed design without being able to do it better. People are saying god is perfect, not humans. Even if we can't make the stuff 'god' can without the same mistakes, a perfect being with infinite power SHOULD.

I think the Vagus is a pretty fair contender - "Alrighty we've got a bunch of sensory and motor stuff, and that's important so we put it in this leathery meninges in body armor - excellent!" _"Sir... what about basic life functions... like breathing and stuff?"_ ".... .... uhh.. f it! that's not important, just use a cranial nerve for it!" _"... One nerve?"_ "One!... and only one."

@@Vasharan Not only the two of you commenting on how the miserably the human body is made. I know this is tongue in cheek, but is there some deeper reason why we like to think of our bodies as cleverly built? Evolution, is whatever goes, is good enough, but is there a remnant of the biblical reverence of the human body? I think there is a culture of the perfect body in health and sports and in culture in general. This is not simply a pragmatic wish to live long and be able to tie your own shoelaces or increase your attractiveness. Being healthy is an ideology and tied to this, is the notion that the human body is perfect from nature?? So have people just internalized the notion of "Gods creation", and cling on to it as an individual religion, because if my body is perfect, it has to be defined to some standard and if such a standard exists, it is. a sign that there is a purpose with it being perfect? Maybe, it is nonsensical to even consider a human as an entity, despite being self conscious, we are really just a hodgepodge of mindless cells working together in symbiosis with foreign DNA from other micro organisms, picked up on the way through the eons, without plan or direction. Add to that the bacteria living in our guts, and you realize that a "human" is really just one big collective of microorganisms, that have ganged up to make life easier. The way the end result appears and think of itself, is really just a side effect. So if nerves are routed haphazardly, nobody should really care about it. Oh, and sorry for busting into your old comments, they just made me think. Cheers.

@@simmyabis7330 It's called an "ERV" or "endogenus retrovirus" and our DNA is littered with scraps of them that make up something like 5-8%. A virus is really a strand of DNA or RNA encased in a protein / lipid shell. It reproduces by latching onto a host cell, injecting it's genetic payload into the cell and making the cell manufacture copies of it. These copies burst out to infect other cells and so on. But some act in a slightly different way. Instead of hijacking it, it instead splices it's DNA directly into the cell. This is called a retrovirus. The end result is basically the same. The hijacked cell treats this new DNA as it's on and goes about manufacturing more copies. But, in rare cases, these retroviruses infect the gametes or sex cells. And since there's no mechanism in them to create new copies, the viral DNA is now part of it's genome. If that gamete then is the one that comes together with the opposite gamete and creates a zygote then the being that comes from that union will carry with it the viral DNA as part of it's genome forever and will pass it along to it's offspring. Some of these exist in all of humanity. Some only exist in certain family groups. And some we share with chimps and gorillas meaning that some of them have been with us for literally millions of years.
