Fun fact! All mammals have a nerve that starts off in the upper neck, goes down the neck, loops through an artery, and then goes back up. It doesn’t connect to anything on the way, it’s just the path it follows.
In giraffes, this means this nerve goes two meters out of its way. The reason it does this is because back when we had gills, it was a straight line.
As gills gave way for a heart and lungs, things got a bit tangled. But it’s always easier to make the nerve a little bit longer and keep it looping like that than to actually undo it, because with evolution every step has to be as good or better at surviving than the last.
Not even surviving. Just living long enough that you can create and raise the next generation
Survival of the ~~fittest~~ good enough
survival of the fuckest
