Randolph M. Nesse

“While many things that seem useless turn out to have a function, others are abysmal designs. The eye would be better without a blind spot. The birth canal is too narrow. Cancer protection mechanisms are insufficient, as are those that protect against infection. Ability to regulate eating is weak. Anxiety and pain are often excessive.”
