I'd really rather liked it if that supposedly "intelligent" designer took a bit more time at designing the urogenital tract of human males.
mine seems ok what version are you on
Y'all get firmware updates?!

#32Interesting. So, the human brain is the scaled-up monkey brain with significant architectural changes.
Implies intelligent design I think its rather some mutations that produced more reelin and created the most successful animal in earth's history
I fail to see that, it's simply one of all other random mutations, it's just that this one has a big downstream effect of enabling other more complex mutations

What's wrong with it?
Separation of functions/concerns is not great, for starters.
The testes are dangerously exposed, the plumbing is convoluted and failure-prone (and doesn’t recover well from mechanical insults).
The prostate, which serves no function outside of reproduction, lies inline with the urethra and quite consistently loses flexibility and becomes enlarged with age, causing all sorts of structural issues impacting basic urological function.
Female reproductive vs urinary anatomy is largely physiologically distinct (proximity and UTI risk notwithstanding). Though plenty of room for improvement there too — starting with endometrial tissue being far too prolific. Fun fact: endometrial tissue can migrate to the brain and cause haemorrhaging in severe cases of endometriosis.
Plenty of room for improvement across the board, I’d say!

Intelligent mutations? How does that work?

I'd like it if the vagus nerve didn't do a loop around my neck for no particular reason. (Giraffes would probably like that even more)
Is that a big concern? I've been pretty happy with my vagus nerve functionality until now... although I have not given it much thought to be fair.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say no.

The most successful animal by what metric?
The most successful at communicating their view that they are the most successful. Whether they are or not. But that means they are. By that metric. Has another animal proposed they are more successful by a different metric? Crickets?
Corn, albeit not an animal has been pretty successful in terms of number of individuals. Their bi-pedal underlings have cleared swathes of land and take meticulous care of their well-being so they can bask in the sun undisturbed.

Which is why we think we're the center of the universe.

What did you think it was before you read this brief Wikipedia article?

There has to be a car analogy for this.
