Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

    Pelvises that can accommodate both upright walking AND the size of human brains without, you know, killing the humans during birth.

      I still find it insane that babies developed compressing skulls before their mothers developed wider pelvic bones

        Who needs wider pelvises when you can break your child’s collarbone instead?

        Source: My collarbone broke when I was being born.

          Nasty. How sturdy are infant bones? To they break easily? What’s the healing process?

            I’m not sure, I wasn’t really paying attention since I was brand new lol.

            But the doctor wasn’t worried. In fact she told my parents that within a few months it would be impossible to tell my collarbone was ever broken.

            The Internet says children typically wear a sling for 3 to 6 weeks for a broken collarbone. I’d assume my parents just swaddled me or something. I’ll ask them.
