Episode 44, Human Anatomical Errors Part 2
Today we continue to shit talk arguably one of the most miraculous things nature ever created: the human body. It’s a miracle we even exist, but this is not that story.
Today we are going to continue to discuss the many quirks and ‘errors’ of our bodies- things evolution didn’t get around to fixing.
Today we cover the sternum, the neck and throat, the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve, the collarbone, our poor aching joints, knees, the pelvis, testicles, the uterus, sperm, my arch nemesis teeth, the circulatory system, and our backwards installed eyes.
Join me as we talk shit about the flaws in the bodies we all possess, but we also do so with love and appreciation.
