    Yeah, “designed” is not the best term here. Evolution doesn’t design, it just throws random shit at the wall and sees what sticks

      Yeah, I think “adapted” would be a better term than “designed” in this context.

      And for far far longer than we’ve been living in modern society, evolution designed (in its slapdash, trial-and-error way) us to be the berry-eating cave dwelling mammals we are.

      The only difference is that it’s an active design process instead of a pre-planned one.

        I find it incredibly confusing how such uninspired and borderline mansplainy tripe gets upvoted more than actual thoughtful comments. One thing though - it definitely wasn’t a joke.

      Maybe we were planted here on Earth by advanced beings. Beings that designed our whole evolution and existence in detail.
      At least it’s fun to think about lol

      Edit: what’s with the fucking downvotes? Im just kidding around. Dont become reddit.
