The Human Foot Is a Design Disaster - Cheddar Explores

- Опубликовано: 29 май 2019
- From a design standpoint, the human foot is kind of a disaster. Although humans evolved to walk upright on two feet, our feet are prone to all kinds of injuries. So, why did natural selection give us this particular foot?

The first 20 seconds of this video is such a wild ride.
This guy ran in the Olympics - on prosthetic feet - murdered his girlfriend - but back to the feet
💀💀
It's like talking to a foot fetishist
yea, not the best example
Anastasia Kravets *All my hooks on my high school essay*
I know, now I wanna know how he murdered his girlfriend with one leg
Hope they fix it with the next update
You watch TierZoo?
Devs need to buff feets
Guess what, you won't be around when the update goes in

Valve, please fix.
Me: *runs*
My ankle: Let me start to hurt like somebody shot you in a leg, just for a sec
Me: *falls*
My ankle: Perfect, imma back to normal now
This sounds like a personal issue
That's how I feel just walking around.
same
One time I was running the pacer test I was on 22 and then my ankle started having sharp pain
Fuck you evolution that made me fail the first pacer test
Helps if you warm up first
Human feet may be a design "disaster" yet their versatility is unparalleled. We have yet to design a prosthesis that would do everything as well as a human foot does. That blade prosthesis mentioned in the beginning is a wonderful for one thing only: running in a straight line over a level surface. It's atrocious for walking on uneven surfaces, running downhill or for sudden stops.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Can someone with those climb a ladder or a flight of stairs?
Can they climb up rocks? Or even move through sand? Can they swim with them? Can they use them to walk through a river with no visibility of what’s under the water? You’d need feet to do that so you can feel around in the water with great precision.
@@Rokaize thats what the video says, the original ape leg is ment for climbing, thats why our legs has good balance for climbing yet only average in running.
Slav Giorno right. But the video kept going on and on about how terrible our feet are.
Eeeehh That just speaks to our technological dumbdumnness, as opposed to our biological coherence. Looking at other animals that have less nonsensical anatomy is one thing, creating an artificial replica is another.
bruh there a lot of protestetic legs that can do this stuff
Is human foot good: nah
Does it do the job: yeah

Great TLDR, or TLDW?

Human foot is good though
Evolution in a nutshell
I was thinking about foot job
Human body:
-papercut- heals completely
-sprained wrist- it’s back to normal
**sprained ankle - It’ll never be the* *same....*
Dionna ly I rolled mine pretty good a while back and it has always been weaker since then
Mostly when you get older. When I was 15-19 I could injure my ankles every few weeks (I'm athletic), now I've noticed the effects of my injuries affect me longer (I'm 20 now). Kinda made me realize I should start caring about my ankles if I want them to feel the same years from now.
I found a good solution to it! About 2 years after i sprained my right ankle, i sprained my left one. So the older sprain now feels surprisingly healthy.
Yeah, i like symmetry.
Know that too well
Dionna ly
No scientific basis for this, but consider that you walk and move around on your foot pretty much all day long, so the viability of a full and correct heal for a foot injury is much less likely than a hand injury, which can be fully rested much more easily.
Ive been barefoot for most of life
Due to it i gained a legendary perk called "immune to lego"
bob danes yes barely any pain
Picked up a drawing pin yesterday with the ball of my left foot. The thing was, I was carrying a piece of furniture up a flight of stairs at the time so I had to follow through with the step I was taking so as not to lose my balance!
@Shahim Shiyam *your
No legos no problems
Lego is banned in my home
Impossible
The problem with these “design disaster” videos is that there is no standard to judge how these things should be designed.
And honestly it's not even design disaster, we just get stuck into bad habits and rarely use proper techniques, we're using our bodies in a bad way
I was looking for this comment. Thank you!
@Shahim Shiyam exactly
Exactly!! Evolution doesn’t have an end goal, its just what genes continue onward and such.
She literally showed you an ostrich, man.
Human feet: I'm the worst engineered body part.
Wisdom teeth: Hold my beer sideways.
I am generically superior born without wisdom teeth.
Bow down before me u genetic freak.
JK.
I'm one of those rare ones whose wisdom teeth are in there alright. But I still get cavities.
Edit : thanks for the likes

[edit] since someone mentioned cavities for some reason, i have to add that i seem to be immune to those too. never had any.
My mother and my father both don't have wisdom teeth, but I did get them for no reason lol

The video is wrong
No the video is wrong, I'm not going to type it out again so I'll paste my post
Holy shit this video is dumb. Everyone knows the more you impact a body part, (other than joints) especially bones, the tougher and more durable they become. Cars have only existed for a century. Before that, we walked every fucking where. The reason for the bone count is for walking on natural ground. Earth isn't perfectly flat, and nor are your feet. Your feet can contort to comfortably match most surfaces. The bones if walking from a toddler would attain a massive amount of calcium build up from micro fractures, making your feet the strongest natural weapon you have for both fight or flight scenarios. Combine that with the insane natural endurance of humans who walked everywhere and you've got a pretty great design to me. Hasn't been 100 years and you're already this fucking stupid
Edit the endurance of a human mind you, is the highest in the animal kingdom....
*DISGRACE*
I'm 68 years old, and having been raised in Southern California, I've spent most of my life barefoot. My feet almost never hurt. I have an overly-high arch, and if I tie my shoes too tight, the top of my foot will hurt. I hate wearing shoes, but I like wearing cowboy boots, on those rare occasions when I wear shoes. I'm really lucky!
Hi Carol, I am very curious about this. I have overly-high arched feet. Is that a good or a bad thing? Because when I went to physiotherapy, they gave me some exercise examples in order to lower the arch I guess. I'm wondering if this is actually a blessing in disguise?
Also, why cowboy boots? Are they somehow better than e.g. running shoes? Or do you wear them for the sake of fashion, not comfort? Thank you if you take the time to answer!

You were right
It is!
As a South African who has had to endure the Oscar Pistorius fiasco (yes, he shot his girlfriend; no, it wasn't an accident; yes, he got off lightly; yes, he tried to lighten his already light sentence; no, that didn't work out all that well for him; and yes, this sh¡tshow keeps on coming back to haunt us on the freakin' regular) for years now, I did laugh out loud at the start of this video.
@Kvothe Windrunner Nope, not really. There is a small group of South Africans who are stuck in the past, trying to divide the country along racial lines but, for the most part, we are all struggling along with a common cause. Corruption is rife but corruption was always a problem, just not as widely reported on, back in the day (thanks for the help in shining a spotlight on the shortcomings, social media). I have a lot of faith in the future of my country, as long we stick to trying to make things better together without getting hung up on how our forefathers tried to divide us.
@Kvothe Windrunner They aren't. This is the claim that the small segment of society I mentioned is pushing and it simply isn't true. Farm murders are a thing, absolutely, but there isn't the wholesale slaughtering of white folks like these people would have the world believe. The stats simply don't support the claims.
@Kvothe Windrunner The crime rate and especially the murder rate in South Africa is horrendous. That is without question, but the claims that there is some sort of white genocide going on have no basis in reality.

I was barefoot for 90% of my childhood and early teens and was a gymnast. I now weight-lift and do HIIT training barefoot. Only had one ankle sprain from falling down the stairs. I avoid heavily padded shoes and heels. So far, no ankle or foot problems for me. Proper footwear (sometimes no footwear), exercise, and diet do wonders for your physical health.
In other words, the problems with our feet are caused by us, not our feet! Biology is beautiful, and when it’s not that’s because we are interfering. Thank you for sharing your example of this! 👏
exactly. the design isnt the problem its the shoes. i havent found any shoes that fit me in years. so i just walk around with sandals or barefoot because its more comfortable and i noticed my toes spread out so much more than other peoples. and that probably means i have more stability. because its logic that some wider is more stable than something thin.
@@rkmalexander7710 shoes and roads, you either have really hard paved roads that are sturdy, but uncomfortable to walk on, or pothole-heavy or worse, dirt roads full of random rocks that are ankle sprain territory and turn into a swamp any time it rains.
There’s been so many human design disaster videos that at this point there should just be a “Humans have a trash build” video.
Is being a Trex better then?
Not necessarily, these anatomical compromises have given us stunning advantages in other areas that make the exchange worth it for the most part, as this video concluded with. Our feet might not be the ideal structure for running, but they were part of what enabled us to gain a significant advantage over our other mammalian prey. What's a few sore feet to rising into an apex ecological niche?

The human body is actually one of the more efficient bodies in the natural world. We just don’t use it right any more. Think about it, humans sleep for like 6 hours a night and the rest of the time is being awake and playing or working or doing something whereas most other animals need to sleep for 15-20 hours a day like a lion.

Feet are amazing designs, they are so good at suspending the body and cushioning impact. If you disagree, you wear bad shoes, barefoot/minimal footwear is genuinely a different experience. I've worn fivefingers for all non-cycling activity as a fitmess instructor for over a decade now, and my feet are crazy strong and resilient.
Yeah, shoes kinda f up our locomotive system
You should go into the actual anatomy of what makes it a disaster. Cheddar seems to be lacking that extra minute or 2 to really explain and satisfy the audience
That would have been nice. It basically boils down to the human foot is too complicated for what its function is. The more complicated something is, the more points of failure there are. Since a foot evolved from something where that complexity was important, nature can't just throw it away and start from scratch, it just used what it had. This leaves us with usable, though not optimal, feet.
@@Voidsworn very well said. i actually wish the narrator quoted you word for word somewhere in this video. this comment gave me more insight than the video
@@lostpockets2227 they could talk about what part of the food gets the most pressure, common foot related diseases, a deeper comparison of our foot versus an ostriches. After this video I feel like I can tell my friends our feet suck but provide no scientific background or support
Yeah. I also wish they broke down what made bird feet maybe even Dino feet superior. Like if you’re going to do a comparison at least commit to it
Actually, from an anatomical stabdpoint, for animals who need to walk (not run, walk) on two feet, the foot is a wonder. The hypothesis that they were used for grasping is still a shaky one from an anthropological standpoint. It's function isn't as simple as propelling our feet, it needs to support our body weight too, constantly, all the time. Which is why there's a layered structure of bones in our feet which form arches.
Cheddar really need to find better content, the medical field really isn't their strong suit.
Am I doing anything wrong that could be causing foot pain?
No, it's the foot that's wrong!
You jest, but the fossil record shows that either we've been doing things wrong for about as long as our species existed at the very least or the human foot itself is the problem, or at least a major factor.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with people being twice the weight they should be.

Video : *mentions plantar fasciitis *
Me: * literally rolling my foot on a tennis ball to deal with it*
As a fellow plantar fasciitis sufferer for 4-5 years I can recommend pressure wave treatment in coop with strength exercises, toe lifts and so on. For first time in years I'm keeping it in check.
They just skipped over a ton of biomechanics and physical therapy research at the beginning but focusing on posture and running with a mid-foot strike instead of heel striking has pretty much eliminated plantar fasciitis for me. People always talk about it with regards to running barefoot or minimalist shoes-really it’s just the posture. Running barefoot just makes it easier to focus on posture. You can do it in any shoe. But you have to run and and it takes a long time to strengthen the right muscles. The goal though is to land mid-foot and essentially let the foot act more like the prosthetic designs and send the impact to the calf muscle rather than into the heel.

Cushy shoes make feet weak. As a runner, I wear thinner shoes and my feet have gotten STRONG. They never feel sore anymore like they used to.
I agree. I wear minimalist shoes now and it’s not just been good for my feet - My calves are growing bigger, my knee pain is going away, my back posture is better. I think most of these Cheddar design disaster videos are just a result of modern lifestyle mismatching our biological machinery, and Cheddar is determined to blame the genes rather than our modern lifestyle for all the diseases which only affect modern society but not indigenous groups living their ancestral lifestyle.
Nah, not a design disaster. A work in progress.
Pretty optimistic but, that work will all be ruined because of our shoes and how we don't use or push them to their limits because of convenience and laziness. Our feet will become soft outside and a cluster-fuck inside.

Yes, yes, can you imagine if we had perfect designed feet? I mean come on, with bad feet we already are destroying everything in our way.
I don’t think you can call it a “design disaster” since it’s performing a job which it wasn’t originally designed for, like is stated at the end of the video. It’s like designing a really good car for a company, but then they come back and change the specifications to include flight. But you only have a month to change the design, so you just slap some wings and a tail on, and call it a day. It’s not a “bad design” so much as it is just having way more asked of it than it was made for with minimal modification.

It's because we are walking on our heels not the front of our toes. There's a huge debate with this in the running industry for years. That's why the higher competition shoes have been losing bulk and the longest distance runners (most notably Africans and Native Americans throughout the America's) run on the front of their feet. Cheddar slapped this video info together in 20 minutes
I implore you guys to look into this. I am a long distance runner myself and I have tried this. The pain in my knees, lower back and heels have gone away. My friend who has a worse mile time than me significantly tried to tell me this for months but I brushed it off. After a few months of doing it myself I have to say it works.
@@ArmyRangerSJ it's hella true
@@ArmyRangerSJ barefoot life
@@ArmyRangerSJ I've never ran with my heels, since the beginning when I learned to run I've always used the front part. Not only does it make me faster, but I assumed running with the heel would lead to serious pain.
@Deoxal lol
Barefoot walking DOES improve the strength of our feet, even though the design sucks. The outside of the foot (another problem) gets thicker, making a c shape from our heel to the ball of our foot. The foot flattens out, toughens up, and the muscles get stronger. We definitely are less prone to aches and pains if we work on strengthening the feet themselves.

Plantar fasciitis is the worst. I just started exercising and got it right away! Doesn’t help that I have flat feet Can’t walk or run now. Hoping stretching and shoe inserts with more support will help.
“Blade runners” LMAOO is that actually what you call them?

Sounds fucking cool

its not a design disaster, the human foot serves versatility, balance, climbing, ergonomy and energy consumption, not only speed
@@pyerack You can grab things with it though, while those cyborgs cannot
@@pyerack a) the flexible fingers actually help a lot when climbing. Trust me. b) Have you never had your hands busy, but still had to open a drawer or pick something up? Because in those situations the ablility to pick something up with your foot instead of leaning down comes really handy. Pun unintended.

Feet are just fine, and should not be thought of as simple levers. Its better to have a limb with potential for purpose change (pushing, grasping, swimming applications) , than to have a simple lever. One cannot predict evolutionary needs which may arise in a million years.
Don't forget that a human or any of its ancestors has a need to run fast. You need to walk a big range, that's it. Meanwhile high inteligence helps to recuperate the damage over time with targeted care, spare resources and help from other members of your social group.
You're not specking into feet and legs to run faster - it would take pointless millions of years to try and outran a Leopard, you're specking into brains and hands that can divise tools and strategies to get more resources, better care for the young and ultimately it's what pays off the most - that Leopard isn't gonna hunt you as his prefered type you travel in a pack or present danger with a pointy stick.
The human foot is not a design disaster. !

Bummer. I was hoping the video would continue into a theorycraft of how our feet would evolve.

You mean "The Human Foot Is a Design Disaster IN RUNNING". Our feet do so much more than running, like climbing, swimming, kicking, playing football, picking things up, stubbing your toe, and foot fetish.
A major issue is are modern shoes. Human feet are supposed to be more of a triangle shape but shoes tend to narrow the feet. It crams the toes together and causes a lot of issues. If you look a people who haven't ever worn shoes that feet are wider and allow for better balance and better kicks. It's not a permanent thing you can where wide toe box shoes and help fix the issue. The therapeutic shoe help the symptoms not the root of the issue. Obviously human feet will still cause issues but modern ahoes are still a problem.
"The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art." ~Leonardo Da Vinci.
The problem isn't the foot. The problem is the shoes.
The problem is the shoes. The shoes are the ones that are the source of some major foot problems in the first place
Finally. It was about time someone said it
And walking in hard concrete most of the time as well. Here in Brazil we wear sandals most of the time, I switched to sandals made for comfort (they're called Mundoflex) and it's SO much better, so comfortable, even my posture improved. The truth is, most things in this world are ironically not built to improve our lives, it's to make money. Society and it's lust for money is a bad design, not our feet!
Big feet solve everything
Foot is the problem rofl
I guess I'll just hack off my feet and replace them with carbon fiber prosthetics then.
Theres a disorder (and fetish) you may wish to research.
Not now, but imagine what king of prosthetics will exist in, say, 20-30 years?
Our original legs will be old and obsolete compared to new carbon/graphene/or whatewer legs of the future.
@@user-ht9jg2dx4v Seems like a waste though to just hack off a part of yourself. I'd prefer to think in the future they'd have something you could attach to yourself and get all the same benefits of a prosthetic. It's funny because in a century or two we might be replacing/modifying EVERYTHING, not just teeth and our eyes.
@@user-ht9jg2dx4v In Deus Ex, if you don't do that, you could get passed over for jobs lol!
I would do this if they let me. Foot pain has plagued me my entire life.
I think what a lot of videos like this miss, is that we actually shouldn't run or walk with our heel first. When you land on your heel, it allows for bigger strides, but you lose power because your actually stopping yourself. If you land on the mid section or your toes, it better allows for you muscles to absorb the impact instead of your joints and bones. If you were to run barefoot landing on your heel it would hurt. Naturally, if you record yourself, you'll see you don't land on the rear of your foot but the front instead. This is how we were naturally meant to walk and run, large soled shoes changed that.
Why did you have to make the toes crunch like that! 😂😩

I broke my foot 2 months ago. Nothing too serious, but had to be in rest without standing for about a month. Recovered, but still hurts sometimes when I walk. The alternative would be surgery. Bad anatomy.
I notice this myself. Walking in sandals or slippers sometimes feels horrible. Heck even working 8 hours in the best tennis shoes destroys my feet. BUT. Almost immediately after taking the shoes off & walking around barefoot, I feel better.
I also notice walking on only the front part of my feet (think werewolf walking idk) relieves alot of foot pain. The only downside is that it throws me off balance & is hard to maintain if your overweight.
I would love to walk barefoot more, but I have to worry about glass, needles, dog poop, ect. Plus there is no grass near here...
LOL, the analysis is sooooo eye shorted. Although nothing is entirely false in the vid, is not the complete story. The human foot is extremely complex because the tasks it has are extremely complex too, I mean you can do a deep squat, a snatch, sprint or be with only one foot for extended periods of time-THATS INSANE if you think about it and the mechanics behind, but you took it for granted-. You also dont go deep enough in the intricacies of the balance component and the combined work with the hip.
Its not bad design, its a generalistic design capable of performing good in the grand spectrum of tasks. You can do a better design for a sprint, or squatting, or walking but its really difficult design a tool for all of these scenarios. I know you pointed out at the end that they are usefull, but the axiom beneath is objectively wrong and its very simplistic.
PS: The affirmation that says we evolve in soft grounds is false too based on the recent research.
PS 2: The fact that people in the past were born with flat feet doesnt mean anything, there always had been genetics abnormalities.
PS 3: you underestimate the harm of the modern footwear
that what i was thinking. i mean it like saying humans are badly designed because we can't sprint like cheaters.
their are also human traits that give no indivisual advantage but community ones like the whites of the eyes. their maybe similar thing here.
They seriously left a lot out when they didn't mention the increase in foot injuries that were more prevalent among modern shoe wearing societies.
The video blames the foot in the title, but in context they only say about walking.
How about kicking? Can you kick using anthesis foot?
Real life is more complex than just 'for walking and running only'
@@winslycan1309 climbing, dancing,... The list is ling. But it is true that the human foot has had relatively little time to evolve but there conclusion are very active. Maybe they are right and we will evolve to look more like birds but then we might not.
Yeah. Just look at photos or videos of "bladerunners" outside training/races. They have different prosthetics for walking and day to day life, they wear those blade ones only when running. Amputee Climbers also have different prosthetics for climbing. But they cannot walk too much in them, because it gives them postural problems and pains.
Well, we cannot just unscrew our legs and change them for different tasks, we only have one set and its permanently attached to us, so it they have to be kinda good at everything but great at nothing.

Human feet: oh no, our feet is a design disaster, we've got so much pain on our feet...
Horses: First time?
Edit: Thanks for the likes guys! If you want to know, unlike humans, who stand on their feet palm (plantigrade), horses evolved to stand on their fingernail (unguligrade). So they have smaller pads to spread their weight force with and tend to break their feet due to high force pressure when running. Not only that, but domestication also made it worse depends on the type of domestic horse. So, the conclusion is, that a zebra with broken foot is a dead zebra.... :(
Nononono
I don't really want to get into it but that's caused by poor trimming and horse shoes
Horse feet are quit a lot more adapted and with less problems.
At least we can injure our legs and we won’t be pretty much dead.
@@WeavileLady Because we rule the world now and we have the technological means to be able to cope with the injury. If it were 10000 years ago, we would also be pretty much dead if we had an injury.
3:25 You missed an important part. The calf muscles and tendon also play a role in the propulsion. Running isn't just about the feet alone. The calf's elasticity also store energy. And if I'm not mistaken, it stores 'most' of the energy used in running.
Uses the foot as a lever.
But if you cannot transfer that energy efficently to the ground it losing some. So a stiff lever would be better. However the foot does more than that, i.e. balancing us with both feet on the ground as oppossed to shifting and raising the leg with prosthetics
@@jokecukie so a reason why the foot is such a cluster, is because we needed both power and balance out the foot, when at the time we could only have one or the other?
Edit: changed the period to a question mark.
I think that if we isolate track running then yeah. Prosthetics can definately be an advantage. But if you run cross country through woods with uneven terrain and many shrap turns, it is a very different story.

It’s Not a designflaw.. we should just start to walk on our toe tips like all animals

Hopefully that's _all_ they do
Well that and give us 4 arms instead of two
If i had a dollar for every situation i found would be MUCH easier with 4 arms
I'd be able to invest in constructing an artificial pair so i could solve all those problems
Heck no! Humans are already too OP

Hey, be glad it's your foot acting up and not your TB.
I was at the podiatrist this morning for plantar fasciitis
I'm prepared to suggest that like most disciplines that are actually based in mechanical physics, they're are some interdisciplinary misconceptions regarding a robust conceptual framework. The foot is still a grasping appendage. Not enough to swing from branches, but enough to provide traction whilst navigating non flat ground topographies whilst performing upper body tasks during locomotion. We tend to carry things, and throw things, and drag things, push, pull etc. Doing those movements on spongey, uneven ground requires a pretty dynamic relationship between clasp and springboard.

Can't wait for the wings update. I've sent a feature request to the developers already.
Heel striking seems to be the cause of most foot problems. The solution is to simply switch to forefoot striking. Your toes and ankles are more flexible than your heel, so they'll act like a shock absorber and a spring. You'll be able to run more efficiently.
