From bad teeth to appendix surgeries, it seems like our bodies are breaking down in modern times. So how has society and evolution changed how our bodies work?Alex Bezzerides is a professor of biology at Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho, where he teaches a wide range of biology classes, from human anatomy and physiology to entomology. He is also the author of “Evolution Gone Wrong: The Curious Reasons Why Our Bodies Work (Or Don't).”In this episode, Greg and Alex cover bipedalism and its baggage, sore feet and back pain, snoring and sleep apnea and other bodily quirks. Episode Quotes:Evolution and the rise of C-sections First, you have the bipedal issue, which did change the shape of the birth canal. That's the first piece of the difficulty of birth puzzle. And then the brain gets, triples in size, in that period of time from 5 million years to a couple of millionyears ago. And then with modern nutrition, you're able to feed that fetus in a way that it's never been fed before. So the women can develop and grow this child that is bigger than it's ever been. You put all that in the stew and mix it together and you've got a problem. Timeline of human speechSomewhere around 50,000 years ago is when the modern head and neck comes into place. That means for most of the time humans have been humans, they weren't capable of the type of speech that they are now.Why are feet are sore all the timeIt used to make sense for our feet, right? When they needed to be nimble and grabbing branches, doing all these things. But now it's just a mess. You got all these bones down there that are just pounding the earth, which is not what they were made to do. And they slip and slide and sprain.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Optima for Animals by R.

Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa’s journey from migrant farm worker to brain surgeon is one that conjures inspiration, and an appreciation for hard work and dedication.  On the night of on January 2, 1987, Dr. Q jumped the fence from Mexico to the United States not once, but twice. He made his way to the San Joaquin Valley so he could financially help himself and his family.  After a year as a farm worker, Dr. Q reached the pinnacle of what a farm worker could achieve in the fields—but he knew he could accomplish more. He knew that an education would introduce a world outside of farm work.  He joined the rest of his family in Stockton, California and he enrolled at San Joaquin Delta College. Within two years, Dr. Q was a student at UC Berkeley.  While on campus, Dr. Q realized that as a kid he was surrounded by natural healers in his family and that the joy that came from helping others was part of his DNA. He made the decision to become a doctor—Harvard Medical School was his next destination.  One night while roaming the hospital corridors as a student, Dr. Q was unexpectedly invited to observe a brain surgery in which the patient would be awake. That experience solidified what his soul had been seeking his whole life: he was meant to become a neurosurgeon.  Dr. Q’s path to neurosurgery lead him to do his residency at the University of California, San Francisco, where he discovered that being a brain surgeon wasn’t enough. He took his fight to the laboratory to understand and find a cure for brain cancer.  Today Dr. Q is steadfast on finding a cure for brain cancer without surgery or operation of any kind. At one point all the odds were against Dr. Q in becoming a brain surgeon. The same odds are against him now with his resolve against cancer. If Dr. Q’s personal history serves as a reminder, his tenacity and fortitude can overcome anything.   Thank you for listening.
