    The human body is pretty fucking great.

    • One of the longest lived animals
    • Able to eat a wide variety of things that are toxic to other animals (we often seek out foods that kill other animals)
    • Top tier endurance
    • The smartest animal
    • Hands enable even greater use of said smarts
    • Ability to throw accurately (even among primates ours is top-tier; and it is non-existent outside primates)

      The article actually goes over this, its not actually stating that the body is crap. Its an analysis on why we dont regenerate everything like our liver does.
