    Just realized I never clearly explained why scientists compare human anatomy to chimp anatomy. It's not because we evolved from them, but because our last common ancestor had locomotion more similar to them than to bipedal humans.
    My bad, that should've been in the script. Take care yall!

    Some questions:
    - Is illness in general considered to be a design problem? Or it is in fact an indicator of robust resilient system? Should humans get sick of viruses and bacteria or this is also a bad design problem? because if so then in the back of your mind the model answer is an avenger superhero : )
    - How much is this theory accepting death as an idea? if so then a good design in that sense is a perfectly working system that suddenly stops all-together, right?
    - What is the validity of a criticism that offers no real design alternatives ("it should have been done like this ..... ") ?
    - So the extension of this narrative would go like: buildings lifetime of 60 years is bad design of all the possible cracks and so; cars as well are of bad design to only last 12-20 years with so much of accidents scenarios.. life and civilization would be of not so good design.. It is just a philosophical stand really.
    - in a Global comparison of prevalence rates of low back pain in the general populations of developed and developing countries, percentages varies from 14% to 64%! I would say in the light of that distribution, that ways of living and cultural characteristics are much more of a factor to be investigated in back pain. (Saying that car design is bad because there is a high risk of life-threatening accidents at speeds over 200km/h is a misuse of the scientific method i would say)
    - The intro of the video talked about numbers in the "industrialized countries".. It is interesting how you choose to talk about the numbers and not questions the correlation with being "industrialized".. Like obesity is a world wide epidemic with huge effects on posture and center of gravity.. why not comment on that? Is it the problem of the design to have not embraced obesity and very long sitting hours and driving with little to no walking?
    - [personal] I have neck desk herniation.. but yeah.. I just choose to take responsibility for my actions, and my lifestyle..

    A few questions:
    Is there any chance that further human evolution will make us less prone to back pain (while remaining bipedal)?
    You mentioned week erector-spinae as a factor contributing to back pain.
    Can training these muscles help?
    Or more broadly speaking, how does one handle this built-in declination best?

    • @Corporis
      @Corporis  4 года назад +2

      Quick *this is not medical advice* disclaimer. For clarification, it's not that we have weak erector spinae, but when we compare our anatomy to apes, we see a difference in size and general shape. That doesn't mean that getting buff erector spinae will help us though. As far as how to fix back pain _in general_ , that's not something I can answer through the internet since everyone is different and back pain has different causes from person to person.

    Great video as usual 👌, but have to disagree on 1 point. I work as human biomechanics specialist, getting rid of back pain in clients often. It's not a flaw on our spine what triggers pain, but a fixable flaw on the tensegrity of the individual, that creates compression on joints. You can check for yourselves. Functional Patterns is constantly making public 'before and after' results on pictures and videos on it's RUclips channel and social media.

    You brought up the concept of sitting, just as I started thinking about what would happen if we gave monkey office chairs and encourage them to sit in them extended hours a day. Would we begin to see changes in their physiology? I can't help but Wonder if our spinal incongruencies are a reflection of our lifestyle. For many there's no doubt that we sit incorrectly, often sit for too long, and many times we don't collectively take time for a reasonable amount of movement. It seems to me that many animals maintain their movement when given access period to appropriate habitats
