Why not get some abdominal bones to protect internal organs?
Is evolution retarded?

[Barkun No.15660719]

It's a strategic weakness retard

[Anonymous No.15660721]

the abdominal lining is usually thick enough for this, fat also accumulates in this region if you eat well above your share of healthy food

Bones like all features have a biological cost. If your primitive monkeyman was getting hit in the stomach then he was going to be killed anyways, having that area armored just makes you slower and weaker overall leading to more deaths over the few times it might save you.

So why have bones around chest area?
Just have more muscle bro

You need flexibility too. Anyway yes evolution is retarded which is why every animal has some kind of "errors" like humans having wisdom teeths, cancers, etc..

>wisdom teeths
it's not an error just because your parents fed you soft food

Sea sponges have armor, just inject sea sponge DNA into your abs.

Being hit to the chest is much more realistic in a fight that you are still winning and much more deadly thanks to lungs and heart being in there. A basic low power gut punch between friends doesn't actually kill a man or even seriously impair their ability to fight, but without ribs you could easily score kills with a similar strike into the heart or crippling strike into the lungs.That's without considering the advantage respiration gets from having bit more solid place to attach all the complex muscles to.

The chest has almost every vital organ of the body with the notable exception of the brain. You get hit once in the liver (If you'e ever done combat sports and got hit, even with the ribs, you know you're going unconscious in a 3 secs max), or the lungs (even if you get hit with the ribs you lose the fight, get your breath knocked out and collapse), your heart (kek you're dead if you get punched in the heart instantly) etc. etc. you would be dead. Evolutionarily, only those that protected these vital organs survived and reproduced. You can survive a hit in the intestines, but you can't survive a hit in the chest, just like you wouldn't survive a hit on the brain without a skull. Some Organs are more vital and sensitive than others. You should know, getting kicked in the balls is not the same as getting kicked on the shins. Different parts, different damage.

That's only really a human concern, you could easily add more bones down there for most animals and even humans without influencing pregnancy, like say a kangaroo which shits out an incredible small baby and then supports it externally, why doesn't it have an armored stomach etc. You could even have sexual dimorphism. Babies are certainly a concern but not really the device factor.

>get punched in gut

>get punched in chest without ribs

My dad's bravoure trick is the Houdini punch. You literally couldn't hurt him if he has time to prepare the abdomen muscles. He can also bench press 150 kg.

ribs exist to allow you to breathe, they just form a bell shape to allow your diaphragm to form a plunger. Lungs are a shitty design. Puncture their membrane and it collapses, pathetic.

Hernias are due to modern lifestyles. Historically human ancestors would squat to poop, now we sit on toilets which put undue pressure on our abdominal lining.

[Anonymous No.15661566]

>>15660723
You need the rigidity of the ribcage for upper body locomotion plus the ribs act as an attachment point for the diaphragm making breathing possible. And it protects the heart I guess

You are honestly so fucking stupid. You can’t separate artifacts (in the data) of civilization from actually Darwinistically interesting dynamics of evolution.

If you want to surgically put some extra scapulas in your stomach there's nothing stopping you, it will look very strange and I can't imagine it being very comfortable at all though

Yes it is? If you kill all your babies, your belly bones genes won't pass down.

it is intelligent design anon, this ideal deity is so intelligent he made us so weak and fragile. We are supposed to be his chosen animals!
just kidding, there is no god.
>Is evolution retarded?
Yes, it is a haphazard and mindless proccess that has no intentions nor purpose. In shorter tyerms, it is retarded. Isn't that lovely we live in an absurd yet fascinating reality? I totally love it.
