- Millions deal with knee problems every year. From elite athletes tearing their ACLs to senior citizens with chronic knee pain, there is clearly something error prone about the design of the human knee. It all comes down to a potent mix of evolutionary shortcomings and the stresses of modern life.

And I heard that just as I read this
up to 29 years old: my left knee, my right knee
from 30 years old on: my good knee, my bad knee
I have a bad knee since my 24 thanks for a bad jump on casual game of soccer with me being a obese monster that last played soccer on his teenagers days lol
Oh no. I am turning 30 this year and it's not the first time I've heard this
I’m in the opposite boat. But not since age 30. Since I was 17. Ugh.
I'm 19 and i already have a bad knee lmao i fell when i was ice skating less than a year ago. It feels hella weird since then.
lol, both my knees are equally bad
Did anyone else’s knees hurt just from watching this

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.
Not me! If I am being chased, I run like hell in a straight line to get as far away as possible as quickly as possible! LOL
Jokes aside, I see your point.
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
A blonde with blue eyes if it's possible
Marie G well, no, we aren't 'apex' predators. We are actually at the same level of a boar. We are persistent predators. That means that we are built for stamina not running. From that angle the knee is fine.
It should have been mandatory as a human to play football 100,000 years ago, we’d all be fine
This. The title should be "humans aren't designed to play sport"
Yes but why does it always happen to Chicago teams?

Hahaha
That one hurt

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.
You beat me to it. I was going to make the same point.
It's high infant mortality mainly that kept life expectancy down.
I think its also because of the innovations in medicine. Sure the infant mortality was high, but god forbid you get a simple illness back then, that can be easily treated today, theres a high chance youre going to die.
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.
👍 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.
not 80s but certainly 40s or 50s

Great! Now, I'm stuck between sitting as much as possible and slowly develop cardio-vascular disease and doing exercise and gettin my knee more and more damaged / painful. When is it that we will easily replace tendons / ligaments?
I suggest just exercise the body everyday in a variety of movements while staying comfortable. The tendons and ligaments have time constant of adaptation 6 months.

Advise from someone who learned this to late: If your knee hurts tell someone and go easy on yourself. I didn’t and my knee still hurts whenever I play a sport or even wake up in the morning.
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!
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
@@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.
How did this mutation spread to other populations?
@@IzzytMe Well, how did your parents genetic variations coming together form you? You now have the answer...
@@twinkharrylwt226 Milk isn't good for you after you're a baby. Milk is made for baby calves to put on weight very quickly, so you would too. Also, your bone density is simply down to genetics. My bones are twice as dense as the average persons while others have their bones 8x denser than usual. Making their bones extremely heavy
thats why you should always aim for the knees

Based on what my knee surgeon saw looking inside my knee when I was having surgery at age 21 to fix issues caused by an avulsion fracture/tear to my MPFL, I am predicted to need double knee replacements by 30, 35 at the absolute latest.... So yeah, I'd say knees are perfect evidence that the human body was not designed by an intelligent being, they evolved through an imperfect natural process.
lol - even if it was designed by a perfect being, it wouldn't be infallible.
One time, i overstretched my knee while on a trampoline at a friends house. I did that on the weekend before the last week of school in June a few years ago. Couldn’t do any water sports that entire summer. It sucked. I never fully recovered from it, as often my right knee can become stiff and hurt from sitting for too long. It also faces more towards the left than my left knee does the right.

Anyone else’s knee start hurting while watching this 😂😂
im pretty sure in medival times if you reached the age of 1 the changes that you live past 30 drasticly go up
Yeah, that data skew makes people think most people were dying at 30
I've always wondered if some of these problems are more prevalent now because the genetics that cause them would also have caused early death in the preindustrial age.
For instance: my brothers, my first cousin and I all have the same knee problems. We also had early health problems that would have killed us without modern medicine.
Correlation is not causation, and we are a very small sample, but it's an interesting question.
He already counted infant mortality out. Thousands of years ago human lived to 30 years old, 18 when counting infants.

I give the “Knee” starter item in the skeleton/muscular system a 5/10 rating: good quality, better than primates, but growth plates get weird and pop a lot during growth, making sneaking very hard, leads to being noticed by unwanted eyes, hurt sometimes, making it hard to sleep, leading to multiple academic issues. Improvement needed.
At 21, I have already damaged both of my knees, and experience intermittent pain, stiffness, and instability. I learned early on how fragile knees are.

I personally had an ACL tear few years ago but managed to get it repaired. What really sucks is that my meniscus was also torn, but it was torn so badly it couldn’t be put back again, so I’m still at higher risk of arthritis in my 40s...
TLDR: we evolved as four legged animals for hundreds of millions of years, and only started walking on two legs within a million years and evolution hasn't caught up.
And it likely never will. Evolution happens through undesirable traits not being able to keep you alive long enough to have a bunch of sex. Given that eugenics and culling is considered very wrong by current societies, we likely will not evolve much at all as a species en masse
Me as a basketball player watching this: 😳
I really tired but im getting the idea that some put their knees through some abuse then its labeled a poor design.
I know a guy that literally had his knee collapse while he was trying to move a table at work. Apparently it wasn't even that heavy, it was just the last straw. I can't and don't want to imagine the pain.

@jayvir jadeja This world is corrupted and bad things happen because of humanity's sin. Even innocent beings, unfortunately, feel the pain of sin.
As an athlete with 4 knee surgeries (all on left knee) I can confirm that.
I'm lucky I had a consultation with an incredible surgeon who said we have lots of research that the knee surgery does nothing, & sent me to physical therapy to learn to move efficiently, build protective muscle, & understanding the need for breaks & pacing yourself.
I want to run fast after watching this (in a straight line, on springy grass, with no sudden changes in direction)
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.

Knees Over Toes Guy:
Allow me to introduce myself
I recently got ACL replacement surgery and have not been able to be the same since. Can't straighten/lock my leg. Can't engage my knee cap and quad to flex my quad and pull up my knee cap, so my left quad atrophied a bunch. I can't run, jump, juke, climb, skate, live active like how I used to.... I'm just learning I'll probably need another surgery.... I gave it a year 4 months to heal from initial surgery. Went through many rounds of therapy. I still walk, that's all I can do, so I walk alot just with a left leg that is very unstable compared to the other. Good luck to anyone who is dealing with this issue and injury.
if we had four legs and two arms we would be great
That would require even bigger brains to coordinate.
I just want a third arm coming out of my chest so I can support myself against the wall and still have two hands to work my junk when I pee.
That would be an intelligent design
so you're saying we should be centaurs?
But then how would we hang from monkey bars?
I'd prefer wings, like an angel.
I’ve torn my ACL, MCL, and Meniscus... all at once
Yikes
might of torn my minuscules but, I cant tell if its the other ligaments.
IT band syndrome here. Feels like a nail being hammered in your knee every extension and retraction. It can happen from constant exercise but healed in two weeks with an IT band strap, ice compressions, stretching, and yes...exercise in that area.
I found that forefoot striking helped me with my knee pain because most of the impact of my feet striking the ground is absorbed by my toes, ankles, and tendons. It's kind of like the suspension system in a car. Most of the impact is absorbed by the tires before the shocks and struts recoil.
I guess the potent mix of evolutionary shortcomings and the stresses of modern life caused this knee jerk reaction.

Dr. Aaron says “the knee is intelligently designed.” Last time I checked for something to be intelligently designed, there needs to be a designer and creator.

Everytime I hear knee injury it reminds me of Brazilian Ronaldo. The fastest and most skilled forward in mid to late 90s but his career cut short by a completely torn knee cap tendon at 23 years of age. He was still good and made a memorable comeback but he wasn’t the same anymore.
When you look at him at psv and Barcelona, he was completely different to the ac Milan ronaldo
I have knee problems related to flat feet. When I bend my knee I put it through a structurally weak position, greatly increasing the strain on the knee.
"What a disaster. Beautiful."
I don't think the knee is a design disaster, I think it's an incredible feat to be able to withstand all that pressure and stress for a lifetime.
Agreed
But they don’t really withstand it all for a lifetime since many people have knee problems for like half their lives lol
The knee isn't bad. I've broken both my knees several times. But I played contact sports like football, lacrosse, and martial arts. And it took some BIG impacts to break my knees. So either other people are just weak, or I'm a special case which I'm not.
Since I was 10 years old I have suffered from patellar dislocation it is the excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life
I was healthy before watching this. Now, I'm afraid to walk.

IIRC, the whole 30 year life expectancy is an artifact: many children died young which brought the average down, but if you made it past your teens, your life expectancy was pretty high.
