An article critiquing human biological design, contrasting the liver's remarkable regenerative abilities with the fragility and poor engineering of most other body systems. The author argues that while most organs degrade with age and injury, the liver maintains function and can regenerate from partial removal, and speculates on why evolutionary design produced such disparities across different organs and systems.
An essay exploring why most human body systems are poorly designed and fragile, with the liver as a notable exception for its regenerative abilities. The author argues that while bodily fragility is generally problematic, it may serve evolutionary purposes, and lists numerous examples of inferior human biology compared to other species.
