  In a lot of cases the Bajou people lose their hearing as they get older due to the constant diving under water. So they have this amazing ability to hold their breath under water for longer than anyone else but the constant pressure changes damage their hearing overtime so they essentially traded their hearing for the ability.

  I’ve evolved into a couch potato.

  &quot;Humans die less&quot;<br>Last time i checked the average death rate per person was still 1, i&apos;m happy that they are improving on it.

  So if a Himalayan has a kid with an Indonesian, that kid might be able to hold their breath for 16 min with little effort? Larger spleen + low oxygen breathing = “I only need to breathe once every 15 minutes?”

  Not just the Bajaus, the Orang Laut (we call them the Sekaks in my island) of Sumatran eastern coasts and the Mokens of southern Myanmar have this adaptation too. The Mokens even take it further. They can see clearly underwater without the help of goggles.<br><br>And they all share the exact same lifestyle. Only in different places.

  If I know anything about evolution the thumbnail was a lie we will all evolve into crabs. Crab is inevitable.

  When was the last time I was worried about getting eaten by a tiger on the way to lunch?<br><br>The last time I questioned whether or not I would survive the predators around me long enough to make it to lunch, was about a week ago. The predators I was worried about, were my fellow homeless people making their way &nbsp;to the food line.

  If it wasn&apos;t for modern medicine, I probably wouldn&apos;t have survived my childhood. I spent a lot of time in hospitals and took lots of antibiotics as a child, and now I take a medication that saves my liver from inflammation and possible cancer, which actually ended up killing my grandmother who has the same liver disease. I wonder if medicine is allowing some genetic disorders to be passed on since more children survive?

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEhOZJ55Ve8&amp;t=350">5:50</a> I’m half Native American and half European, and this fact blew my mind. &nbsp;Some time in the past few years, my earwax changed dramatically. &nbsp;From what would be considered Native to European, according to this… My doctors seemed confused by it. &nbsp;Dormant genes somehow switched on due to age maybe? &nbsp;So weird.
