As I sit here watching this interview with Randolph Nesse on YouTube “The Genius of Charles Darwin” I start to understand why my eye’s are so horrible and why my back causes me so much surprise trouble. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty healthy at my age. My Dr. say’s I’m the perfect weight, I eat pretty well and I’m more active than most computer Jockeys. I do find it interesting that evolution and natural selection have not built the perfect human body and that there are still some pretty major flaws. This series goes into some very interesting detail on those topics. Randolph Nesse is an American physician and evolutionary biologist. He is notable for his research on evolutionary psychology and evolutionary medicine, as well as the evolutionary origins of emotions and how natural selection shapes the capacity for mood. He is also the author of “Why we get sick” (Pub. Date: January 1994).
