While we’re on the topic, we all have very slightly webbed digits, multiple involuntary reflexes for when we get wet, and a nasal/respiratory system that is (partially) adapted to swimming. I wonder how far our DNA could be pushed to pad out what was started here?

Our throat region seems poorly thought out. As somebody said recently, tube you shove food in or you die is right next to tube you must never block with food or you die.

Sometimes when I’m chewing a mouthful of food in the car it occurs to me that if I suddenly get in a wreck I will have no control over my gasp reflex.
