    When the knee was evolving, humans weren't playing football. The design of the knee is fine. How we have chosen to use/maintain it is where the problem lies.

      Firstly we still evolve
      Secondly, unless playing football bring us evolutionary advantage, it sadly won't change. We could've been doing it as long as humanity existed and we would still have weak knees. There must be a pressure on population to make a change or we would've to breed footballers to artificially create a superathlete

    Isn't the average life expectancy thing being 30 a bit misleading? I've heard that the infant mortality rate was so high that it brought the average life expectancy down to 30. So in other words if you made it to the age of 18 you could expect to live till your 80's no problem.

    • @TommyShlong

      You are exactly right. 0 to 12 are the most Dangerous period of life. If you make it past that into puberty with adult immune systems/stamina, you will likely live at least into your late sixties on average.
      Most skeletons of cavemen found are aged between 50 and 70 years old. Either that very young.
      It is rare to find a skeleton of someone between 14 and 50 estimated age because well, they didn't die too often because they were in their prime.

      @marquisdelafayette1929 4 года назад +43

      👍 People are like “people totally married at 12 because they only lived til 30”.
      But yes, it was infant mortality and dying in childbirth so if a male child made it past being a child, they could live a full life. If a woman made it past having kids then she also would make it to 80 also.
      And our life expectancies have actually gone down recently for the first time since WW2 because of the opioid epidemic.
      More people died in 2016 from opioids than the entire Vietnam war. Think about that. And all because of pharmaceutical companies and doctors greed.

    Being a human biologist, it's great so see content like that on youtube! Besides the structure of knees, other recent human adaptations are also fascinating. To give an example, we have also developed a quite unique form of thermoregulation which allowed us to run long distances in hot temperatures (also known as sweating). A lot of people of European descent are further able to drink milk as adults due to a small mutation which occurred roughly 20 000 years ago and made us lactose tolerant. This mutation was so beneficial that it quickly spread to different populations (I covered this topic in one of my videos). Human evolution is amazing!

    • @twinkharrylwt226
      @twinkharrylwt226 4 года назад +4

      So i have 2 questions:
      In the video the man said that female soccer players have a high change of injury in the knees? Why don’t male players have the same risk gactor..
      Second question: i learned that milk makes your bones more dense, as in a baby has a lot of (glue? Im not sure for the English term) flex in their bones and a part of the nutrients in the milk make them less flexible.. but if humans keep drinking the milk, won’t that make the bones break faster as people drink more milk? I’m always taught to drink milk bc it’s good for the bones.. but doesn’t seem that wat

    • @darkphoenix7225
      @darkphoenix7225 4 года назад +7

      @@twinkharrylwt226 I can answer the second part of the question, sort of. There is a channel named "brew" that goes in depth about that claim. The video is called "Drink One Glass of Milk a Day. Better Bones or Brainwashing?" There isn't really any evidence that can pin point if milk actually helps with making bones stronger. Some studies suggest it does make bones stronger, while others suggest milk may weaken bones. The only thing we know for certain on the matter is the nutrients in milk is needed, however you could easily get these nutrients from other sources in your diet.

    You can't call the knee injuries design flaws..
    firstly as the doctor said our knees are "brilliantly designed" in the best way to walk, stand, sit, run and look good for our bodies. every creature has its own body traits to suit their nature and needs plus each has its own weaknesses. So I don't think it would be fair to compare certain human injury rates to other animals as they have higher rates in other types of injuries.
    knee injuries can occur due to many reasons most of them are human abuse like lack of elasticity, overuse or holding too much weight, And even without an obvious abuse every part of the human body has a limit to the forces it can handle for example you can't stand on your head for some time and not expect to get injured. same goes for the knees maybe they weren't designed for those rapid transitions in movement.

Its so weird because I’ve had this problem when i was 11 and it naturally went away I guess.

    It’s been termed globesity.
    There was no such thing as 5’4” people carrying 100 extra pounds of stored energy when our knees were evolving.
    Even when obesity isn’t as severe as the example I just gave it can be extremely detrimental and risky to the knees. When we make certain movements/motions our knees are put under a pressure that is equal to 4 times our total body weight.
    Now think: The average American adult is around 30lb heavier than the average adult in the 1960s. That’s *90lb of extra pressure* at times. The only thing saving obese people from blown out knees is luck and the fact that they are collectively more sedentary and spend more time sitting than lean individuals.

    This model only looks at the current state of human life which is so far from the bodies intended purpose that of course we will have issues with structures designed for different jobs. if you read the book “born to run” you see that by addressing things like foot strength and changing your movement patterns you can avoid most if not all dangers associated to the knee. Its even said in the video that most ACL tears come from athletes who have poor movement mechanics. Lastly you can’t blame the knee for being poorly designed when you purposely try to break it in sports like football Rugby MMA it just makes no sense. The human body isn’t poorly designed, we just use it poorly especially in America and athletics.
